FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008 (UNAUDITED)
| NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| A. | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and for the three month period then ended (the “interim financial statements”) were prepared in a condensed form in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows and all the data and notes which are required when preparing annual financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. |
| B. | The accounting principles used in the presentation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those principles used in the presentation of the latest annual financial statements. All significant accounting policies have been applied consistently with the year ended December 31, 2008, except as otherwise stated below. |
| C. | The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and for the year then ended and the accompanying notes thereto. |
| D. | Principles of Consolidation |
| The interim financial statements include the accounts of Defense Industries International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, Export Erez USA, Inc., Rizzo Inc.(doing business as Owen Mills Company), Export Erez, Ltd. (“Export Erez”), Mayotex, Ltd. (“Mayotex”), Dragonwear Trading Ltd. (“Dragonwear”), and Achidatex Nazareth Elite (1977) Ltd. (“Achidatex”), (assets and liabilities – 100% as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and operations – 100% and 76% in the three months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively). |
| All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

| E. | Per share data |
| Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 common stock equivalents to purchase 202,500 shares of common stock were not included in diluted income (loss) per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. |
| F. | Fair value |
| Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. |
| SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs, as follows: |
| Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| Level 2 Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. |
| The Company’s trading securities and bank deposits are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). |
| The Company funds in respect to employees’ rights upon retirement are measured at fair value based upon unobservable inputs (Level 3). |
| H. | Recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the reported period |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in revenue, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred. Adoption of SFAS 141(R) is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS 141(R) to fiscal years preceding the effective date are not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) will be effective for business combinations consummated in 2009. |

| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries as non-controlling interests and requires the classification of minority interests as a component of equity. Under SFAS 160, a change in control will be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The effective date for SFAS 160 is for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing noncontrolling interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 160, the Company reclassified the noncontrolling interest as a component of equity in prior years. |
| In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (SFAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses will need to be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim financial statements. |
| In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the list of factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. Under FSP No. FAS 142-3, entities estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. This FSP will require certain additional disclosures for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year and the application to useful life estimates prospectively for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on its financial statements |

| NOTE 5 | SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS |
| The Company has two strategic business segments: sales to the civilian market and the military market. |
| The military and the civilian markets are further broken down between Israel (local) and other (export) sales in order to better analyze trends in sales and profit margins. The Company does not allocate assets between segments because assets are used in more than one segment and any allocation would be impractical. |

| NOTE 6 | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
| On February 11, 2009, a lawsuit was filed in the Jerusalem District Court against the Company’s subsidiaries, Export Erez USA Inc. and Achidatex, and its chief executive officer, Mr. Avraham Hazor. The suit alleges that Achidatex materially breached its agreement with the plaintiff, dated February 22, 2000, relating to the development of inflatable mine-field crossing enabling sandals, because Achidatex allegedly failed to register patents for the technology worldwide and only registered patents in the United States. The plaintiff further claims that the defendants, jointly and severally, committed a breach of trust. The plaintiff is seeking damages in the amount of NIS 10 million (approximately $2.4 million), and claiming for all rights in the patent. Contemporaneously with the filing of the claim, the plaintiff also filed a motion seeking an exemption from payment of the requisite court filing fee, and stated that he would withdraw the lawsuit if the motion is not granted. On March 12, 2009, Achidatex filed a request to respond to the motion and requested a 30 day extension to file its statement of defense. On May 24, 2009, Achidatex filed its statement of defense. The Company believes that it is likely that the plaintiff’s motion for an exemption from payment of the court filing fee will be granted and that the lawsuit will therefore proceed. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s claim is unfounded and intends to vigorously defend against the claim. Due to the preliminary stage of the claim, management and its legal advisors cannot currently assess the outcome or possible adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, however, management believes the Company has substantial legal arguments to oppose the allegations. |
| NOTE 7 | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
| On June 8, 2009, the Company issued 209,424 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $40,000 at the date of issuance, to the former owner of Owen Mills. The shares were issued as the final payment under the agreement the Company signed on February 28, 2005 to acquire the business of Owen Mills. |

| Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2008 contained in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion and analysis which follows may contain trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth and forecasts, and similar matters that are not historical facts.
We remind shareholders that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause the future results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
Overview
We are a manufacturer and global provider of personal military and civilian protective equipment and supplies. Our products are used by military, law enforcement, border patrol enforcement, and other special security forces, corporations, non-governmental organizations and individuals throughout the world.
Our main products include body armor, bomb disposal suits, bullet proof vests and jackets, ballistic wall coverings, bullet proof ceramic and polyethylene panels, V.I.P. car armoring and lightweight armor kits for vehicles, personal military equipment, dry storage systems, liquid logistic products, tents and other camping, travel gear and Optical Germanium for night vision infra-red applications .
While we believe that current international tensions, the war on terrorism, and the continuing conflict in Iraq are all likely to result in additional interest in our products, and that the demand for our products will continue to grow, the recent global economic turmoil and the instability in the financial markets may result in reduction in governmental spending for military and security budgets. We expect to address the growth indication by offering a comprehensive array of high quality branded security products that meet our customers' increasingly complex security products requirements. We intend to enhance our position in the industry through additional strategic acquisitions that will broaden our portfolio of products.
Material Trends
Local Military Market. After the war between Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August of 2006, increased orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense increased the demand for our products in this market. We benefited from this trend for the reminder of 2006 and through 2007. During 2008 the demand for our products decreased compared to the same period of 2007, but was significantly higher than in 2006. We believe that the demand for our products from the Israeli Ministry of Defense will continue at the current levels for the first half of 2009.
As of June 10, 2009, we had a backlog of firm orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense of approximately $1.9 million, including orders of approximately $0.4 million that we received subsequent to March 31, 2009. In the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, sales to the Israeli Ministry of Defense were $2.4 million and $1.1 million, accounting for 40.5% and 35.6% of our sales, respectively.
16
Export Military Market. Our customers in this market are military and law enforcement organizations mostly in South America, North America, Africa and Europe. Their budgets fluctuate and as a result we cannot identify definite trends in these markets.
Since 2003, we have increased our export efforts as a consequence of the worldwide environment resulting from the events of September 11, 2001, the subsequent war on terrorism and the continuing conflict in Iraq. We are continuing our efforts to strengthen our position in our existing export markets in North America, South America, Asia and Europe, and to extend our presence to new export markets in Australia and Africa. We believe that although the demands for our products from these markets are inconsistent, they are growing and that any future success in such markets is mainly dependant on our ability to be competitive in our pricing and the quality of our products.
Since January 2008, we have experienced an increased demand for armored vehicles, from central and South African countries. We believe that the armor car business is growing and will become even more significant for us in the near future. The armor car business is characterized by higher gross margins than our traditional military products.
The following table presents details of our export military sales during the three periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 |

| Sales to Africa | 1,186,355 | 187,603 | ||||||
| Total Export Military Sales | $ | 2,400,616 | $ | 611,866 | ||||
Local Civilian Market. Our product range to the civilian market is diversified. In 2008, our local market business remained at a level consistent with 2007. We expect a moderate increase in this market during 2009.
Backlog. We had approximately $6 million of unfilled customer orders at March 31, 2009, compared to $5.7 million of unfilled customer orders at March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, our backlog included approximately $2.2 million of orders that were attributable to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, approximately $1.1 million of orders that were attributable to military customers in Africa, approximately $0.2 million of orders that were attributable to civilian customers in North America, approximately $0.6 millions of orders that were attributable to the local civilian market, and approximately $1.9 million of orders that were attributable to military customers in South America.
Current Economic Overview. We generate revenues from sales of our products to the civilian and military markets. Accordingly, our business is affected by economic conditions. The volatile economic conditions have slowed-down our sales process and complicated our ability to conduct transactions. The current economic climate and the uncertainty in the global economic conditions could impact the ability of our customers to make capital expenditures, thereby affecting their ability to purchase our products. In addition, the turmoil in the financial markets may limit our ability to obtain financing in 2009. Our business and financial performance, including collection of our accounts receivable, realization of inventory and recoverability of assets including investments, may be adversely affected if economic conditions deteriorate or continue to be volatile. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. The turmoil in the financial markets may limit our ability to obtain financing for our working capital requirements.
17
Exchange rate fluctuation. Exchange rate fluctuation affects our financial results in several ways. Most of our deposits and a portion of our tradable securities are linked to the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the NIS. Accordingly, devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS is reflected as comprehensive income in our consolidated statement.
In addition, we develop products in Israel and sell them in Israel, North and South America, Asia, Africa and several European countries. Our sales in Israel are denominated in NIS, while most of our export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Under U.S. GAAP we report all of our sales in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS reduces our reported sales while the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS increases our reported sales.
Our cost of sales and operating expenses are affected in the same manner. Most of our purchases of raw material are made in U.S. dollars while most of our labor and other operating expenses are in NIS, however, under U.S. GAAP we report our cost of sales and operating expenses in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS reduces our reported cost of sales and operating expenses while the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS increases our reported cost of sales and operating expenses.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the NIS depreciated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 10.1%, and our financial results were negatively impacted. However, because exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the NIS fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. We cannot assure you that in the future our results of operations may not be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations.
Operations in the Erez Industrial Zone
During 2004, the Israeli Government decided to evacuate the Erez Industrial Zone in the Gaza Strip, where part of our operations were located. We owned facilities, leased other facilities and maintained equipment and inventory within this area. In 2005, we moved our “light cut and sew” operation from the Erez Industrial Zone to Sderot and some of our webbing equipment to Nazareth. In August 2005, we evacuated our remaining operations and abandoned the buildings we owned and leased in the Erez Industrial Zone.
The Israeli Government’s decision to evacuate the Gaza Strip was supported by certain resolutions, including the “Evacuation Compensation Law” that was adopted by the Israeli Parliament to compensate the Israeli Gaza Strip settlers as well as business and property owners in the Gaza Strip and in the Erez Industrial Zone. In February 2006, three of our subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex filed claims for compensation pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law. In 2006, we were notified that we would receive advance payments in the aggregate amount of $523,000. We applied this payment against the receivable established in 2005 and recorded the excess payment of $240,658, net of taxes, as extraordinary gain.
On February 18, 2008 Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex signed definitive agreements with SELA, a government agency, established pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law, for compensation of approximately $6.0 million, net of 5% related taxes, receipt of the previous advance payment and the other associated costs.
New Product Line
On December 17, 2008, our Mayotex subsidiary entered into an investment agreement, or the Sarino Agreement, with Sarino Crystal Technologies Ltd. and Sarino Optronics Ltd., together Sarino, to cooperate in the manufacture of optical grade germanium crystals and the sale of optical and infra-red night vision products utilizing the germanium crystals. Pursuant to the Sarino Agreement, Mayotex and Sarino incorporated Mayosar Technologies Ltd., or Mayosar, in which Mayotex holds 50.1% of the outstanding shares and Sarino holds the remaining 49.9% of the outstanding shares.
Mayotex agreed to provide a shareholder loan to Mayosar of up to $2 million, under a timetable to be determined by Mayosar’s board of directors, which is controlled by Mayotex. The loan accrues interest at the rate of Libor + 2%. In addition, Mayotex agreed to pay Sarino Crystal Technologies Ltd. $1 million. Of such amount, $300,000 will be forgiven at the end of 24 months from the commencement of operations. In the event Mayosar reaches $10 million in sales during the 36 month period following the commencement of operations, the remaining $700,000 will not have to be repaid.
18
On December 21, 2008, Mayosar signed an agreement with Isorad Ltd., an Israeli governmental company, or Isorad, to purchase certain knowledge, know how, equipment and inventory and the activity of a factory that manufactures germanium crystals for lenses used in infra-red night vision system applications, or the Isorad Agreement.
Mayosar incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary named Isorad Optronics Ltd. that later changed its name to Isorad IR Optics Ltd., or Isorad IR, to acquire the Isorad assets. Mayosar agreed to pay Isorad royalties of 3% of total sales with no deductions, except transportation costs and VAT, for a period of 15 years commencing the effective date of the Isorad Agreement (the "Effective Date"). The minimum royalty will be NIS 500,000 (approximately $119,000) per year for the period beginning the Effective Date and ending on completion of the transfer of all activity from Isorad’s facilities (no later than 18 months from the Effective Date) and NIS 200,000 (approximately $48,800) per year or $50,000, whichever is greater, thereafter. Beginning the Effective Date, and for a 24 month period, Isorad has the right to acquire 5% of the outstanding share capital of Isorad IR. In the event that such shares are issued to Isorad, Mayosar will issue an additional 539 of its shares to Mayotex, so that Mayotex will retain a 50.1% ownership interest in the entire operation. During the four year period commencing the Effective Date, Mayosar has the option to purchase from Isorad the 5% interest in Isorad IR (if acquired by it) and the right to extinguish its royalty obligation to Isorad in consideration for $750,000 less all the royalties paid to Isorad by Mayosar. If the Israeli government does not approve the ownership of the Isorad IR shares by Isorad before December 31, 2009, Isorad will be paid $75,000 or NIS 300,000, whichever is greater, and the option to purchase the shares will terminate.
The Isorad Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including a resolution to approve the transaction by Isorad’s board of directors that as of the balance sheet date have not been met. We are of the opinion, based on legal advice received, that the amounts paid under Sarino and Isorad agreements will be fully refundable to us in the event that Isorad will not fulfill the closing conditions.
Results of Operations
Key Indicators
Our management views revenues, the sources of our revenues, gross profit margin and the level of inventory compared to revenues as the key performance indicators in assessing our company’s financial condition and results of operations. While our management believes that demand for our products will continue to grow, our business is subject to a high degree of volatility because of the impact of geopolitical events, government budgeting, and competition.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $5,813,288 from $3,125,302 in the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 86%. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in our local military and export military market segments. In the period ended March 31, 2009, revenues from our local military market segment increased by approximately $1.1 million and our military export market segment grew by approximately $1.9 million. The increased revenues in our local military market segment are attributable to a general increase in demand for our products. The increased revenues in our export military market segment are attributable to a general increase in demand for our products, especially armored vehicles.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of sales by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,491,728 compared to $743,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues from sales. Our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to 25.7% compared to 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by 16.9% to $183,776 from $157,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in our selling expenses was attributable primarily to the increase in export sales and commissions paid on export sales.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by 1.6% to $529,894 from $538,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This stability is primarily due to our successful effort to keep expenses consistent.
Financial (Expenses) Income, Net. We had financial income, net of $441,025 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to financial expenses, net of $115,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our financial income is primarily due to the change in the U.S. dollar exchange rate versus the NIS, which resulted in a gain of $390,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a loss of $112,778 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Other Income (Expense), Net. We had other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $164,204 as compared to other expense, net of $40,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our other income in three months ended March 31, 2009 is mainly attributable to a gain derived from sales of tradable securities of $19,875 and an unrealized gain of $105,578 on tradable securities. Our other expense in three months ended March 31, 2008 is mainly attributable to a loss of $50,207 derived from sales of tradable securities.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $284,851 compared to income tax expense of $79,694 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in income tax expense was mainly due to the increase in our operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Extraordinary Income. We didn’t record any extraordinary income for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized and recorded extraordinary income of $4,681,838, net of tax, from the payments to our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex, by the Israeli Government with respect to their evacuation from the Gaza Industrial Zone.
Noncontrolling Interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we did not recognize or record any noncontrolling interest, compared with the noncontrolling interest in our profit of $41,417 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Net Income. In the three months ended March 31, 2009 our consolidated net income of controlling interest was $1,098,436, compared to of $4,452,664 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, we had $2,549,140 in cash and cash equivalents, $1,796,171 in trading securities and working capital of $9,271,253 as compared to $ $1,719,921 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,384,727 in trading securities and working capital of $10,088,528 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in our working capital position at March 31, 2009 reflects our increased accounts receivable arising from the increase in revenues.
20
The current economic climate and the uncertainty in the global financial markets resulting from the recent disruption in credit markets may affect our ability to raise additional funds in the future, if required. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to our company.
On October 30, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, which authorizes the use of up to $450,000 for the purchase of shares of common stock of our company over a period of six months. As of May 10, 2009 we have not purchased any shares as part of this program, but we repurchased 1,050,000 shares purchased from the former minority shareholders in December 31, 2008 in connection with our purchase of their minority interests.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $622,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $1,392,523 provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008. This was primarily provided from net income of $1,098,436, an increase in accounts payable of $286,337, a decrease in trading securities of $486,105, and a decrease in other current assets of $458,564, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $1,052,033, and an increase in inventories of $290,005.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,126,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $1,047,722 net cash used in the three months March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, $2,000,000 was provided from the redemption of bank deposits, $41,455 was used to purchase fixed assets and $832,453 was used to purchase of a business.
Net cash used in financing activities was $840,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $279,064 net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months March 31, 2009, we incurred further short-term debt of $166,459, repaid $101,295 of long-term debt and repaid $905,721 to related party creditors for the purchase of Achidatex shares.
Most of our large contracts, which are Israeli Governmental contracts, are supported by letters of credit. As a result, we believe that we have limited exposure to doubtful accounts receivables. We have strived to balance our accounts payable and accounts receivable.
Subject to an unexpected growth in inventories as a result of future growth in sales and to a significant change in raw material prices, we intend to use our cash flow from operations for the acquisition of companies or equipment to expand our capabilities.
We anticipate that our research and development expenses in 2009 will total approximately $140,000.
We believe that we have sufficient working capital and borrowing capability to sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We develop products in Israel and sell them in Israel, North and South America, Asia, Africa and several European countries. Our sales in Israel are denominated in NIS while most of our export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, our labor expenses are primarily paid in NIS while our expenses for raw materials are paid in U.S. dollars and Euros. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
Our foreign currency exposure with respect to our sales is mitigated, and we expect it will continue to be mitigated, through salaries, materials and support operations, in which part of these costs are denominated in NIS.
In the year ended December 31, 2008, the inflation rate in Israel was 3.8% and the NIS appreciated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 1.14%, from NIS 3.846per $1 on December 31, 2007 to NIS 3.802 per $1 on December 31, 2008. In the period ending in March 31, 2009 deflation in Israel was0.1% while the NIS devaluated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 10.1%. If future inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind increases in inflation in Israel, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
We did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts or hedging transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Inflation and Seasonality
We do not believe that our operating results have been materially affected by inflation during the preceding two years. There can be no assurance, however, that our operating results will not be affected by inflation in the future. Our business is subject to minimal seasonal variations with slightly increased sales historically in the second and third quarters of fiscal year.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
None.

Critical Accounting Policies
A discussion of our critical accounting policies was provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no significant changes to these policies in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements adopted in the reported period
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in revenue, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred. Adoption of SFAS 141(R) is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS 141(R) to fiscal years preceding the effective date are not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) will be effective for business combinations consummated in 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries as non-controlling interests and requires the classification of minority interests as a component of equity. Under SFAS 160, a change in control will be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The effective date for SFAS 160 is for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing noncontrolling interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 160, we reclassified the noncontrolling interest as a component of equity in prior years.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (SFAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses will need to be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on our interim financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the list of factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. Under FSP No. FAS 142-3, entities estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. This FSP will require certain additional disclosures for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year and the application to useful life estimates prospectively for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. Our adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Interest Rate Risk
We do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk other than sensitivity to prevailing interest rates that may affect income from our cash deposits and marketable securities.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Most of our sales are currently denominated in dollars, while the majority of our operating expenses are incurred in foreign currencies, principally the NIS. As a result, the decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against these currencies has resulted in increased expenses for our company. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the U.S dollar depreciated against the NIS by approximately 8%, 9%, 1%, respectively. In the first fiscal quarter of 2009, the U.S dollar appreciated in relation to the NIS by approximately 10%.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION:
| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
On February 11, 2009, a lawsuit was filed in the Jerusalem District Court against our subsidiaries, Export Erez USA Inc. and Achidatex, and its chief executive officer, Mr. Avraham Hazor. The suit alleges that Achidatex materially breached its agreement with the plaintiff, dated February 22, 2000, relating to the development of inflatable mine-field crossing enabling sandals, because Achidatex allegedly failed to register patents for the technology worldwide and only registered patents in the United States. The plaintiff further claims that the defendants, jointly and severally, committed a breach of trust. The plaintiff is seeking damages in the amount of NIS 10 million (approximately $2.4 million), and claiming for all rights in the patent. Contemporaneously with the filing of the claim, the plaintiff also filed a motion seeking an exemption from payment of the requisite court filing fee, and stated that he would withdraw the lawsuit if the motion is not granted. On March 12, 2009, Achidatex filed a request to respond to the motion and requested a 30 day extension to file its statement of defense. On May 24, 2009, We filed our statement of defense. We believe that it is likely that the plaintiff’s motion for an exemption from payment of the court filing fee will be granted and that the lawsuit will therefore proceed. We believe that the plaintiff’s claim is unfounded and intend to vigorously defend against the claim. Due to the preliminary stage of the claim, we and our legal advisors cannot currently assess the outcome or possible adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, we believe we have substantial legal arguments to oppose the allegations.

| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our business may be negatively affected by the current global economic and credit crisis.
The current economic climate and the uncertainty in the global economic conditions resulting from the recent disruption in credit markets pose a risk to the overall economy that could impact customer demand for our products, as well as our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. If the current situation deteriorates significantly, our business could be negatively impacted, including such areas as reduced demand for our products from a slow-down in the general economy, or supplier or customer disruptions resulting from tighter credit markets.
There have been no other material changes to our “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
