ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
OF ELECTRIC FUEL CORPORATION
TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2003

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROXY STATEMENT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of
Directors of Electric Fuel Corporation (doing business as Arotech Corporation),
for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any postponements and
adjournments thereof. The meeting is currently planned to be held in the
Ballroom of the Shelburne Murray Hill Hotel, 303 Lexington Avenue, New York, New
York, on Monday, September 15, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. local time, and thereafter as
it may be postponed or adjourned from time to time, for the purposes described
in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2003 will
be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. As of July 22, 2003, there were
40,078,032 shares of our common stock outstanding held of record by 307
stockholders. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on
each matter that comes before the annual meeting.

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy to stockholders
will be mailed commencing on or about August 6, 2003. We are also mailing our
annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 to our stockholders
along with this proxy statement.

Voting Procedures and Vote Required

Proxies that are properly marked, dated, and signed, or submitted
electronically via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on
the proxy card, and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting in
accordance with any indicated directions. If no direction is indicated, proxies
will be voted FOR the fixing of the number of Class I directors at two and the
election of the nominees for director set forth below, FOR changing our name to
Arotech Corporation, and in the discretion of the holders of the proxies with
respect to any other business that properly comes before the annual meeting and
all matters relating to the conduct of the annual meeting. If a broker indicates
on the enclosed proxy or its substitute that it does not have discretionary
authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter ("broker
non-votes"), those shares will not be considered as voting with respect to that
matter. We believe that the tabulation procedures to be followed by the
Inspector of Elections are consistent with the general requirements of Delaware
law concerning voting of shares and determination of a quorum.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering
to the Secretary of our company a written revocation or a duly executed proxy
bearing a later date than the date of the proxy being revoked (including a proxy
voted over the Internet or by telephone).

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Any record stockholder attending the annual meeting in person may revoke his or
her proxy and vote his or her shares at the annual meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the annual meeting will be
tabulated by the Inspector of Elections, with the assistance of our transfer
agent. The Inspector of Elections will also determine whether or not a quorum is
present at the annual meeting. The presence of a quorum is required to transact
the business proposed to be transacted at the annual meeting. The presence in
person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our
common stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as defined
above) will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the
holders of our common stock voting in person or by proxy at the annual meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for election of
directors.

In order to be adopted, the proposal to amend our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Arotech Corporation will
require the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares of our
common stock entitled to vote on this proposal. As a result, abstentions and
broker non-votes will have the same practical effect as a negative vote on this
proposal.

The solicitation of proxies will be conducted by mail and we will bear
all attendant costs. These costs will include the expense of preparing and
mailing proxy solicitation materials for the annual meeting and reimbursements
paid to brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding
solicitation materials regarding the annual meeting to beneficial owners of our
common stock. We may conduct further solicitation personally, telephonically or
by facsimile through our officers, directors and employees, none of whom will
receive additional compensation for assisting with the solicitation.

We are not aware of any matters other than those described in this
proxy statement that will be acted upon at the annual meeting. In the event that
any other matters do come before the annual meeting for a stockholder vote, the
persons named as proxies in the form of proxy being delivered to you along with
this proxy statement will vote in accordance with their best judgment on those
matters.

At least ten days before the annual meeting, we will make a complete
list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting open to the examination
of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the annual meeting. The list will
be open for inspection during ordinary business hours at our offices at 632
Broadway, Suite 1200, New York, New York 10012, and will also be made available
to stockholders present at the annual meeting.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The annual meeting will consider the election of two Class I directors
for three-year terms that expire in 2006. Our four other directors have terms
that end in either 2004 or 2005, as indicated below. Unless instructions are
given to the contrary, each of the persons named as proxies will vote the shares
to which each proxy relates FOR the election of each of the nominees listed
below for a term of three years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in 2006, and until the nominee's successor is duly elected and
qualified or until the nominee's earlier death, removal or resignation. The two
nominees named below are presently serving as directors and both of them are
anticipated to be available for election and able to a serve. However, if they
should become unavailable, the proxy will be voted for substitute nominee(s)
designated by the Board. The two nominees who receive the greatest number of
votes properly cast for the election of directors will be elected.

Our by-laws provide for a Board of one or more directors, and the
number of directors currently is fixed at six. Our Board is composed of three
classes of similar size. The members of each class are elected in different
years, so that only one-third of the Board is elected in any single year.

Dr. Eastman and Mr. Esses (who was appointed to fill a vacancy in the
Board) are designated as Class I directors. Their term expires in 2003. Messrs.
Rosenfeld and Miller are designated as Class II directors. Their terms expires
in 2004. Mr. Ehrlich and Mr. Wasserman (who was appointed to fill a vacancy in
the Board) are designated as Class III directors. Their terms expire in 2005.

Lawrence M. Miller Jack E. Rosenfeld Lawrence M. Miller Steven Esses
Jack E. Rosenfeld Bert W. Wasserman Jay M. Eastman Lawrence M. Miller

Audit Committee

Created in December 1993, the Audit Committee is empowered by the Board
of Directors to, among other things: serve as an independent and objective party
to monitor the

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Company's financial reporting process, internal control system and disclosure
control system; review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company's
independent accountants; assume direct responsibility for the appointment,
compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the outside auditors and
for the resolution of disputes between the outside auditors and the Company's
management regarding financial reporting issues; and provide an open avenue of
communication among the independent accountants, financial and senior
management, and the Board.

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Wasserman (Chairman), Miller
and Rosenfeld. We have determined that Mr. Wasserman qualifies as an "audit
committee financial expert" under applicable SEC and Nasdaq regulations. Mr.
Wasserman, as well as all the other members of the Audit Committee, is
"independent," as independence is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National
Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards and under Item 7(d)(3)(iv)
of Schedule 14A of the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has selected Kost Forer & Gabbay, a member of Ernst
& Young Global, to serve as the Company's independent accountants during the
current fiscal year. Kost Forer & Gabbay served as the Company's independent
accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Kost Forer &
Gabbay's report on the financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, auditing scope or accounting
principles.

A representative of Kost Forer & Gabbay is expected to be present at
the Annual Meeting to make such statements as Kost Forer & Gabbay may desire and
will be available to answer appropriate questions from shareholders.

The Audit Committee performed its duties during fiscal 2002 under a
written charter approved by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has
reviewed the relevant requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the
proposed rules of the SEC and the proposed new listing standards of the Nasdaq
Stock Market regarding audit committee policies. Although some of these rules
and standards have not been finalized, the Board of Directors has adopted an
amended charter to voluntarily implement certain of the proposed rules and
standards. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit A
hereto. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee intend to further amend
this charter, if necessary, as rules and standards are finalized by the SEC and
the Nasdaq Stock Market to reflect changes in the proposals or additional
requirements.

The Audit Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2002.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee was established in December 1993. The duties
of the Compensation Committee are to recommend compensation arrangements for our
executive officers and review annual compensation arrangements for all other
officers and significant employees.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

The Compensation Committee consists of Dr. Eastman (Chairman) and
Messrs. Rosenfeld and Wasserman, all of whom are "disinterested persons" as that
term is used in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act").

The Compensation Committee held five meetings during the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2002.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee, created in February 2003, identifies and
proposes candidates to serve as members of the Board of Directors. Proposed
nominees for membership on the Board of Directors submitted in writing by
stockholders to the Secretary of the Company will be brought to the attention of
the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee consists of Mr. Rosenfeld (Chair), Mr. Miller
and Dr. Eastman, all of whom are "disinterested persons" as that term is used in
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

The Nominating Committee did not exist during the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2002.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee, created in July 2001, exercises the powers of
the Board during the intervals between meetings of the Board, in the management
of the property, business and affairs of the Company (except with respect to
certain extraordinary transactions).

The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Ehrlich (Chair), Miller and
Esses.

The Executive Committee held two meetings and acted by unanimous
written consent once during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

Director Compensation

Non-employee members of our board of directors are paid $1,000 (plus
expenses) for each board of directors meeting attended and $500 (plus expenses)
for each meeting of a committee of the board of directors attended. In addition,
we have adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan pursuant to which
non-employee directors receive an initial grant of options to purchase 25,000
shares of our common stock upon the effective date of such plan or upon the date
of his or her election as a director. Thereafter, non-employee directors will
receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock for each year of
service on the board. Generally, such options are granted at fair market value
and vest ratably over three years from the date of the grant.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR FIXING THE
NUMBER OF CLASS I DIRECTORS AT TWO AND FOR ELECTION
OF THE CLASS I NOMINEES DESCRIBED ABOVE

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

PROPOSAL NUMBER 2

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR Amended and Restated
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE OUR NAME
FROM "ELECTRIC FUEL CORPORATION"
TO "AROTECH CORPORATION"

General

During 2002, we made a strategic corporate shift to the field of
defense and homeland security, including the manufacturing and distribution of
zinc-air batteries for military applications, by acquiring two new subsidiaries
(IES Interactive Training, Inc. and MDT Protective Industries Ltd.), by closing
our money-losing consumer battery operations, and by reorganizing into two
divisions: Defense and Security Products and Electric Fuel Batteries.

We believed that continuing to use the "Electric Fuel" name for our
entire business would de-emphasize what had become an important part of our new
and reorganized business, namely, defense and homeland security. Accordingly, in
February 2003, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposed amendment
to Article One of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
change our name from "Electric Fuel Corporation" to "Arotech Corporation," and
we filed the appropriate documents in the states of Delaware and New York to
begin doing business immediately under the new name. The Board also directed
that the proposed amendment be submitted to a vote of our stockholders at this
annual meeting.

Text of the Amendment

If this proposal is adopted, Article One of our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation will read as follows:

"ONE: The name of this corporation is Arotech Corporation."
---

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of our common stock entitled to vote on this proposal will be required for
approval of this proposal. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will
have the effect of votes against the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT
TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE OUR NAME FROM "ELECTRIC FUEL CORPORATION"
TO "AROTECH CORPORATION"

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION AND OTHER MATTERS

Cash and Other Compensation

General

Our Chief Executive Officer and the other highest paid executive
officer (of which there was one) who were compensated at a rate of more than
$100,000 in salary and bonuses during the year ended December 31, 2002
(collectively, the "Named Executive Officers") are Israeli residents, and thus
certain elements of the compensation that we pay them is structured as is
customary in Israel.

During 2002, 2001 and 2000, compensation to our Named Executive
Officers took several forms:

>> cash salary;

>> bonus, some of which was paid in cash in the year in which it
was earned and some of which was accrued in the year in which
it was earned but paid in cash in a subsequent year;

>> cash reimbursement for taxes paid by the Named Executive
Officer and reimbursed by us in accordance with Israeli tax
regulations;

>> accruals (but not cash payments) in respect of contractual
termination compensation in excess of the Israeli statutory
minimum;

>> accruals (but not cash payments) in respect of pension plans,
which consist of a savings plan, life insurance and statutory
severance pay benefits, and a continuing education fund (as is
customary in Israel);

>> stock options, including options issued in exchange for a
waiver of salary under the "options-for-salary" program
discussed in more detail below; and

>> other benefits, primarily consisting of annual statutory
holiday pay.

The specific amounts of each form of compensation paid to each Named
Executive Officer appear in the summary compensation table and the notes thereto
appearing under "Summary Compensation Table," below.

Termination Compensation of and Settlement with Yehuda Harats

In October 2002, we announced that Yehuda Harats, our president and CEO
and a member of our Board, had decided to resign from his positions with us and
our subsidiaries in order to pursue other interests. In December 2002, we came
to an agreement with Mr. Harats whereby we agreed to pay him $551,499 through
the end of 2005 in satisfaction of all our contractual and legal severance and
other obligations to him. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -
Termination Compensation of and Settlement with Yehuda Harats," below.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Prior to Mr. Harats's resignation, we had accrued a sum of $1,212,939
in respect of these obligations on our books, consisting of contractual
severance, statutory severance, contractually guaranteed bonus, and various
benefits, including unused vacation, unused sick days, and continuing benefits
over the three years after termination. Since we settled with Mr. Harats for a
sum of $551,499 rather than the $1,212,939 that we had accrued on our books,
this settlement effectively resulted in a gain for us in the fourth quarter of
2002 of $661,440, which is the difference between the amount that we had accrued
on our books in respect of these obligations and the amount that we ultimately
agreed to pay.

We continue to carry on our books a total of $1,076,740 in loans from
us to Mr. Harats on which he remains liable; however, we do not carry these
loans at full value because recourse under the loans is only to certain shares
that we hold, the fair market value of which is now less than the principal
amount of the loans. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -
Officer Loans," below.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table, which should be read in conjunction with the
explanations provided above, shows the compensation that we paid (or accrued),
in connection with services rendered for 2002, 2001 and 2000, to our Named
Executive Officers.

Options-for-Salary Program

Between May 2001 and December 2002, we conducted an options-for-salary
program designed to conserve our cash and to offer incentives to employees to
remain with us despite lower cash compensation. Under this program, most of our
salaried employees permanently waived a portion of their salaries in exchange
for options to purchase shares of our common stock, at a ratio of options to
purchase 2.5 shares of our stock for each dollar in salary waived. Social
benefits (such as pension) and contractual bonuses for such employees continued
to be calculated based on their salaries prior to reduction. The
options-for-salary program was ended on December 31, 2002.

During 2001, options were accrued quarterly in advance, but since no
employees requested the grant of their options during the third quarter, all
grants were deferred to the beginning of the fourth quarter, during the month of
October. During 2002, options were accrued quarterly in advance for the Named
Executive Officers, and annually in advance for other employees.

During 2001, in exchange for waiver of $79,739 in salary, our employees
other than the Named Executive Officers received a total of 199,347 options,
which options were granted based on the lowest closing price of our common stock
during the month of October 2001 ($1.30). Named Executive Officers, in exchange
for waiver of $72,000 in salary, received a total of 180,000 options during
2001, which options were granted based on the lowest closing prices of our
common stock during the month of October 2001 ($1.30), as set forth in the table
below.

During 2002, in exchange for waiver of $339,200 in salary, our
employees other than the Named Executive Officers received a total of 848,000
options, which options were granted based on the lowest closing price of our
common stock during the month of December 2002 ($0.61). Named Executive
Officers, in exchange for waiver of $150,000 in salary, received a total of
375,000 options during 2002, which options were granted based on the lowest
closing prices of our common stock during each quarter of 2002, as set forth in
the table below.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Options for employees who were ceased to be employed by us during the
course of the year were priced at the lowest closing price of our common stock
through the date of termination.

Following is a table setting forth the number of options that we issued
to each of our Named Executive Officers under the options-for-salary program
during each fiscal quarter in which the program was in effect, and the range of

(1) The potential realizable value illustrates value that might be realized
upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their
terms, assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation of the
market price per share from the date of grant to the end of the option
term. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercise are dependent upon a
number of factors, including the future performance of the common stock and
the timing of option exercises, as well as the executive officer's
continued employment through the vesting period. The gains shown are net of
the option exercise price, but do not include deductions for taxes and
other expenses payable upon the exercise of the option or for sale of
underlying shares of common stock. The 5% and 10% rates of appreciation are
mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not
represent our estimate or projection of future increases in the price of
our stock. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this
table will be achieved, and unless the market price of our common stock
appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the option
grants made to the executive officers.

base price of the option.

Employment Contracts

In October 2002, we announced that Yehuda Harats, the president and CEO
and a member of our Board, had decided to resign from his positions with us and
our subsidiaries in order to pursue other interests. The Board of Directors
selected Robert S. Ehrlich, Chairman of the Board, to be the new President and
CEO. In connection with the resignation of Mr. Harats, we are required to pay
him certain amounts due to him by law and under the

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

terms of his employment agreement. In December 2002, we came to an agreement
with Mr. Harats whereby we agreed to pay him $551,499 through the end of 2005 in
satisfaction of all our contractual and legal severance and other obligations to
him, which sum was approximately one-half of the amount we had accrued on our
financial statements in connection with such obligations. Our debt to Mr. Harats
is secured by certain of our assets in Israel. See "Executive Compensation -
Cash and Other Compensation - Termination Compensation of and Settlement with
Yehuda Harats," above.

Mr. Ehrlich is party to an employment agreement with us effective as of
January 1, 2000. The term of this employment agreement expires on December 31,
2002, but is extended automatically for additional terms of two years each
unless either Mr. Ehrlich or we terminate the agreement sooner. Additionally, we
have the right, on at least 90 days' notice to Mr. Ehrlich, unilaterally to
extend the initial term of his agreement for a period of one year (i.e., until
December 31, 2003). We have exercised this right, and accordingly the automatic
two-year extensions will begin from December 31, 2003 instead of December 31,
2002.

The employment agreement provides for a base salary of $20,000 per
month, as adjusted annually for Israeli inflation and devaluation of the Israeli
shekel against the U.S. dollar, if any. Additionally, the board may at its
discretion raise Mr. Ehrlich's base salary. In January 2002, the board raised
Mr. Ehrlich's base salary to $23,750 per month effective January 1, 2002; Mr.
Ehrlich has elected to waive this increase in his salary and to receive options
instead, under our salary for options program.

The employment agreement provides that if the results we actually
attain in a given year are at least 80% of the amount we budgeted at the
beginning of the year, we will pay a bonus, on a sliding scale, in an amount
equal to a minimum of 35% of Mr. Ehrlich's annual base salary then in effect, up
to a maximum of 90% of his annual base salary then in effect if the results we
actually attain for the year in question are 120% or more of the amount we
budgeted at the beginning of the year.

The employment agreement also contains various benefits customary in
Israel for senior executives, tax and financial planning expenses and an
automobile, and contain confidentiality and non-competition covenants. Pursuant
to the employment agreements, we granted Mr. Ehrlich demand and "piggyback"
registration rights covering shares of our common stock held by him.

We can terminate Mr. Ehrlich's employment agreement in the event of
death or disability or for "Cause" (defined as conviction of certain crimes,
willful failure to carry out directives of our board of directors or gross
negligence or willful misconduct). Mr. Ehrlich has the right to terminate his
employment upon a change in our control or for "Good Reason," which is defined
to include adverse changes in employment status or compensation, our insolvency,
material breaches and certain other events. Additionally, Mr. Ehrlich may retire
(after age 68) or terminate his agreement for any reason upon 150 days' notice.
Upon termination of employment, the employment agreement provides for payment of
all accrued and unpaid compensation, and (unless we have terminated the
agreement for Cause or Mr. Ehrlich has terminated the agreement without Good
Reason and without giving us 150 days' notice of termination) bonuses due for

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

the year in which employment is terminated and severance pay in the amount of
three years' base salary (or, in the case of termination by Mr. Ehrlich on 150
days' notice, a lump sum payment of $520,000). Furthermore, certain benefits
will continue and all outstanding options will be fully vested.

Other employees have entered into individual employment agreements with
us. These agreements govern the basic terms of the individual's employment, such
as salary, vacation, overtime pay, severance arrangements and pension plans.
Subject to Israeli law, which restricts a company's right to relocate an
employee to a work site farther than sixty kilometers from his or her regular
work site, we have retained the right to transfer certain employees to other
locations and/or positions provided that such transfers do not result in a
decrease in salary or benefits. All of these agreements also contain provisions
governing the confidentiality of information and ownership of intellectual
property learned or created during the course of the employee's tenure with us.
Under the terms of these provisions, employees must keep confidential all
information regarding our operations (other than information which is already
publicly available) received or learned by the employee during the course of
employment. This provision remains in force for five years after the employee
has left our service. Further, intellectual property created during the course
of the employment relationship belongs to us.

A number of the individual employment agreements, but not all, contain
non-competition provisions which restrict the employee's rights to compete
against us or work for an enterprise which competes against us. Such provisions
remain in force for a period of two years after the employee has left our
service.

Under the laws of Israel, an employee of ours who has been dismissed
from service, died in service, retired from service upon attaining retirement
age, or left due to poor health, maternity or certain other reasons, is entitled
to severance pay at the rate of one month's salary for each year of service. We
currently fund this obligation by making monthly payments to approved private
provident funds and by its accrual for severance pay in the consolidated
financial statements.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors for the 2002
fiscal year consisted of Dr. Jay M. Eastman, Jack E. Rosenfeld and Lawrence M.
Miller. None of the members has served as our officers or employees.

Robert S. Ehrlich, our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, serves as
Chairman and a director of PSCX, for which Dr. Eastman serves as director and
member of the Executive and Strategic Planning Committees and Mr. Rosenfeld
serves as director and member of the Executive Compensation Committees.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous
filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
the Exchange Act which might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy
Statement, in whole or in part, the following

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

report and the Performance Graph on page 28 shall not be incorporated by
reference into any such filings.

Objectives and Philosophy
We maintain compensation and incentive programs designed to motivate,
retain and attract management and utilize various combinations of base
salary, bonuses payable upon the achievement of specified goals,
discretionary bonuses and stock options. It is our current policy to
establish, structure and administer compensation plans and arrangements so
that the deductibility of such compensation will not be limited under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our Chief Executive Officer,
Robert S. Ehrlich, is party to an employment agreement with us. Our former
Chief Executive Officer, Yehuda Harats, who left our employ in October
2002, was also party to an employment agreement.

Executive Officer Compensation
The employment agreement with Mr. Harats provide, and the employment
agreement with Mr. Ehrlich provides, that if the results we actually attain
in a given year are at least 80% of the amount we budgeted at the beginning
of the year, we will pay a bonus to each of Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats, on
a sliding scale, in an amount equal to a minimum of 35% of their annual
base salaries then in effect, up to a maximum of 90% of their annual base
salaries then in effect if the results we actually attain for the year in
question are 120% or more of the amount we budgeted at the beginning of the
year. We paid each of Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats $32,380 during 2002 on
account of the 2002 bonuses to which they were entitled according to their
contracts. Additionally, we accrued $67,370 for Mr. Ehrlich in satisfaction
of the remainder of the bonus to which he was entitled according to his
contract. The remainder of the additional bonus to which Mr. Harats was
entitled according to the terms of his contract was included in the sums
that we are obligated to pay Mr. Harats under the terms of our severance
agreement with him, which sums are detailed in "Termination Compensation of
and Settlement with Yehuda Harats," above. During 2002, we also paid
$99,750 to Mr. Harats in full payment of his 2001 bonus and $84,000 to Mr.
Ehrlich in full payment of his 2001 bonus.

Beginning in May 2001, we instituted an options-for-salary program
designed to conserve our cash and to offer incentives to employees to
remain with us despite lowered cash compensation. Under this program,
certain of our more senior employees agreed to permanently waive a portion
of their salaries in exchange for options to purchase shares of our common
stock. During 2002, in exchange for waiver of $105,000 in salary, Mr.
Ehrlich received a total of 262,500 options during 2002, which options were
granted based on the lowest closing prices of our common stock during each
quarter of 2002. During 2002, in exchange for waiver of $45,000 in salary,
Mr. Harats received a total of 112,500 options during 2002, which options
were granted based on the lowest closing prices of our common stock during
each of the first three quarters of 2002. All of these options were granted
at a ratio of options to purchase 2.5 shares of our stock for each dollar
in salary waived. Social benefits (such as pension) and contractual bonuses
continued to be calculated based on salary prior to reduction. The
options-for-salary program was ended on December 31, 2002.

As of December 31, 2002, Mr. Ehrlich's total options, including the
options referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, represented
approximately 2.7% of our outstanding stock, which the Compensation
Committee believes is an appropriate level of options for him in view of
his equity position (including options exercisable within 60 days) in our
company which, as of December 31, 2002, represented approximately 4.3% of
our outstanding stock. As of when Mr. Harats's employment with us
terminated in October 2002, Mr. Harats's total options, including the
options referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, represented

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

approximately 3.4% of our fully-diluted outstanding stock, which the
Compensation Committee believes was an appropriate level of options for him
in view of his equity position (including options exercisable within 60
days) in our company which, as of October 2002, represented approximately
7.1% of our outstanding stock.

For information with respect to Mr. Harats's severance arrangements
with us, see "Termination Compensation of and Settlement with Yehuda
Harats," above.

Compensation of Other Employees
With respect to employees other than the Named Executive Officers,
compensation is determined not by formula, but based on the achievement of
qualitative and/or quantitative objectives established in advance of each
year by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who then,
pursuant to authority delegated by the Compensation Committee, determine
remuneration of our employees based on such objectives.

We seek to promote, including through our compensation plans, an
environment that encourages employees to focus on our continuing long-term
growth. Employee compensation is generally comprised of a combination of
cash compensation and grants of options under our stock option plans. Stock
options are awarded annually in connection with annual bonuses and,
occasionally, during the year on a discretionary basis. Stock options are
intended to offer an incentive for superior performance while basing
employee compensation on the achievement of higher share value, and to
foster the retention of key personnel through the use of schedules which
vest options over time if the person remains employed by us. There is no
set formula for the award of options to individual employees. Factors
considered in making option awards to the employees other than the Named
Executive Officers in 2002 included prior grants to the employees, the
importance of retaining the employees services, the amount of cash bonuses
received by the employees, the employees potential to contribute to our
success and the employees' past contributions to us. Additionally, almost
all of our more senior employees participated in our options-for-salary
program (described above) of agreeing to permanently waive a portion of
their salaries in exchange for options to purchase shares of our common
stock. Most of these employees participated in this program to the extent
of 15% of their monthly salaries.

cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock with the cumulative
total return on the Nasdaq Market Index (Broad Market Index) a self-constructed
peer group index (the "Old Index"), and a self-constructed new peer group index
(the "New Index") over the past five years, from December 31, 1997 through
December 31, 2002. We have chosen to replace the Old Index with the New Index
due to the strategic steps that we took during 2002, including the manufacturing
and distribution of zinc-air batteries for military applications, the
acquisition of two new subsidiaries (IES Interactive Training, Inc. and MDT
Protective Industries Ltd.) and the termination of our consumer battery
operations. We believe that the New Index is more reflective

of our current business segments and our shift in emphasis to defense and
homeland security.

The cumulative total shareholder return is based on $100 invested in
our common stock and in the respective indices on December 31, 1997. The stock
prices on the performance graph are not necessarily indicative of future price
performance.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of the board of directors during 2002 (the
"Audit Committee") consisted of three non-employee directors, Dr. Jay
Eastman, Lawrence M. Miller, and Jack E. Rosenfeld, each of whom has been
determined to be independent as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board
of directors.

Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and
the financial reporting process. The independent accountants are
responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's
responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context the Audit Committee has met and held discussions
with management and the independent accountants. Management represented to
the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated
financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The
Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required
to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.

The Company's independent accountants also provided to the Audit
Committee the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." The
Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm's
independence and considered whether the non-audit services provided by the
independent accountants are compatible with maintaining its independence.

Based on the Audit Committee's discussion with management and the
independent accountants, and the Audit Committee's review of the
representation of management and the report of the independent accountants
to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the board of
directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under the securities laws of the United States, our directors, certain

stock are required to report their ownership of our common stock and any changes
in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specific due dates
for these reports have been established and we are required to report any
failure to file by these dates during 2002. We are not aware of any instances
during 2002 where such "reporting persons" failed to file the required reports
on or before the specified dates, except that a Form 5 that Mr. Yehuda Harats,
who resigned as a director in November 2002, was required to file on or before
February 14, 2003 was to the best of our knowledge never filed by him.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Voting and Registration Rights Agreements

Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated December 28, 1999
between a group of purchasers, including Mr. Gross, and us, Mr. Gross agreed
that for a period of five

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

years, neither he nor his "affiliates" (as such term is defined in the
Securities Act) directly or indirectly or in conjunction with or through any
"associate" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), will
(i) solicit proxies with respect to any capital stock or other voting securities
of ours under any circumstances, or become a "participant" in any "election
contest" relating to the election of our directors (as such terms are used in
Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act); (ii) make an offer for the
acquisition of substantially all of our assets or capital stock or induce or
assist any other person to make such an offer; or (iii) form or join any "group"
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to any
of our capital stock or other voting securities for the purpose of accomplishing
the actions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, other than pursuant to
the voting rights agreement described below.

In connection with a stock purchase agreement dated September 30, 1996
between Leon S. Gross and us, we also entered into a registration rights
agreement with Mr. Gross dated September 30, 1996, setting forth registration
rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued to Mr. Gross in
connection with the offering. These rights include the right to make two demands
for a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for the sale of the common stock
that may, subject to certain customary limitations and requirements, be
underwritten. In addition, Mr. Gross was granted the right to "piggyback" on
registrations of common stock in an unlimited number of registrations. In
addition, under the registration rights agreement, Mr. Gross is subject to
customary underwriting lock-up requirements with respect to public offerings of
our securities.

Pursuant to a voting rights agreement dated September 30, 1996 and as
amended December 10, 1997 and December 28, 1999, between Mr. Gross, Robert S.
Ehrlich, Yehuda Harats and us, Lawrence M. Miller, Mr. Gross's advisor, is
entitled to be nominated to serve on our board of directors so long as Mr.
Gross, his heirs or assigns retain at least 1,375,000 shares of common stock. In
addition, under the voting rights agreement, Mr. Gross and Messrs. Ehrlich and
Harats agreed to vote and take all necessary action so that Messrs. Ehrlich,
Harats and Miller shall serve as members of the board of directors until the
earlier of December 28, 2004 or our fifth annual meeting of stockholders after
December 28, 1999. Mr. Harats resigned as a director in 2002; however, we
believe that Mr. Harats must continue to comply with the terms of this
agreement. As of July 22, 2003, 5,291,036 shares of our common stock were
subject to this Voting Rights Agreement (including 601,835 shares held of record
by or on behalf of Yehuda Harats as of July 22, 2003).

Officer Loans

On December 3, 1999, Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats each purchased 125,000
shares of our common stock out of our treasury at the closing price of the
common stock on December 2, 1999. Payment was rendered by Messrs. Ehrlich and
Harats in the form of non-recourse promissory notes due in 2009 in the amount of
$167,975 each, secured by the shares of common stock purchased and other shares
of common stock previously held by them. As of December 31, 2002, the aggregate
amount outstanding pursuant to these promissory notes for each of Messrs.
Ehrlich and Harats was $201,570 and $201,570, respectively.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

On February 9, 2000, Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats each exercised 131,665
stock options. Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats paid the exercise price of the stock
options and certain taxes that we paid on their behalf by giving us non-recourse
promissory notes due in 2025 in the amount of $789,991 each, secured by the
shares of our common stock acquired through the exercise of the options and, in
the case of Mr. Ehrlich, certain compensation due to him upon termination. As of
December 31, 2002, the aggregate amount outstanding pursuant to these promissory
notes for each of Messrs. Ehrlich and Harats was $623,579 and $875,170,
respectively.

Termination Compensation of and Settlement with Yehuda Harats

We continue to carry on our books a total of $1,076,740 in loans from
us to Mr. Harats on which he remains liable (described above); however, we do
not carry these loans at full value because recourse under the loans is only to
certain shares that we hold, the fair market value of which is now less than the
principal amount of the loans.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
stockholder proposals made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act
intended to be included in our proxy material for the next annual meeting must
be received by us on or before April 6, 2004. If you desire to bring a proposal
before the next annual meeting and such proposal is not timely submitted for
inclusion in our proxy statement, you can still submit the proposal if it is
received by us no later than June 1, 2004. Any proposals must be received at our
principal executive offices, 632 Broadway, Suite 1200, New York, New York 10012,
Attention: Corporate Secretary by the applicable date.

The Audit Committee shall oversee and monitor the Company's accounting

Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company's bylaws or the Board.

1. The Audit Committee shall assume direct responsibility for the
appointment, retention and oversight of the work of the outside
auditors and, when appropriate, the replacement of the outside
auditors. As part of the audit process, the Audit Committee shall meet
with the outside auditors to discuss and decide the audit's scope. The
Audit Committee shall determine that the outside audit team engaged to
perform the external audit consists of competent, experienced, auditing
professionals. The Audit Committee shall also review and approve the
compensation to be paid to the outside auditors and shall be authorized
to compensate the outside auditors.

2. The Audit Committee shall take, or recommend that the full Board take,
appropriate action to ensure the independence of the outside auditors.
The Audit Committee shall require the outside auditors to advise the
Company of any fact or circumstances that might adversely affect the
outside auditors' independence or judgment with respect to the Company
under applicable auditing standards. The Audit Committee shall require
the outside auditors to submit, on an annual basis, a formal written

and the Company that may affect the objectivity and independence of the
outside auditors. Such statement shall confirm

A-2

prohibited by Section 10A(l) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

dialogue with the outside auditors with respect to any disclosed
relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and

3. The Audit Committee shall require the outside auditors to advise the
Audit Committee in advance in the event that the outside auditors
intend to provide any professional services to the Company other than
services provided in connection with an audit or a review of the
Company's financial statements ("non-audit services"); provided that
such non-audit services are not listed in Section 10A(g) of the
Exchange Act ("prohibited services"). The Audit Committee shall
approve, in advance, any non-audit services to be provided to the
Company by the Company's outside auditing firm.

4. The Audit Committee shall obtain confirmations from time to time from
the Company's outside auditing firm that such firm is not providing to

by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall have the authority to
approve the provision of non-audit services that have not been
pre-approved by the Audit Committee, but only to the extent that such
non-audit services qualify under the de minimus exception set forth in
Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee shall

of the Company's financial disclosures and (c) the degree of
aggressiveness or conservatism that exists in the Company's accounting
principles and underlying estimates and other significant decisions

disclosures. The Audit Committee shall then meet, without operating
management or the outside auditors being present, to discuss the
information presented to it.

shall require the outside auditors to report to the Audit Committee all
critical accounting policies and practices to be used, all alternative
treatments of financial information within generally accepted
accounting principles that have been discussed with the Company's
management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures
and treatments, the treatments preferred by the outside auditors and
other material written communications between the outside auditors and

of unadjusted differences.

the entire Board.

and state regulatory authorities and assure that the Board is aware of
the findings and results. In addition, it will meet with the
appropriate members of senior management designated by the Audit
Committee to review the responses to the respective regulatory reports.

9. The Audit Committee shall consider and review with management: (a)
significant findings during the year and management's responses
thereto, including the status of previous audit recommendations and (b)
any difficulties encountered in the course of their audits, including
any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required
information.

10. The Audit Committee shall consider and approve, if appropriate, changes
to the Company's auditing and accounting principles and practices, as
suggested by the outside auditors or management, and the Audit
Committee shall review with the outside auditors and management the
extent to which such changes have been implemented (to be done at an
appropriate amount of time prior to the implementation of such changes
as decided by the Audit Committee).

11. The Audit Committee shall prepare a letter for inclusion in the
Company's proxy statement describing the discharge of the Audit
Committee's responsibilities.

12. The Audit Committee will review and update this Charter periodically,
at least annually, and as conditions may dictate. The Audit Committee
Charter shall be presented to the full Board for its approval of any
changes.

counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary to perform its
duties.

within the scope of its responsibilities and duties as the Audit
Committee may, in its discretion, determine to be advisable.
