REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of:
TAT Technologies Ltd. and
Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of TAT Technologies Ltd. and Subsidiaries (TAT) as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes
in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
TATs management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. TAT is
not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
TATs internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of TAT Technologies Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December
31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

principal markets of TAT are in Israel, Europe and the United States. |
|
b. |
TAT
depends on a limited number of suppliers for some standard and custom designed
components for its systems. If such supplier fails to deliver the necessary
components, TAT may be required to seek alternative sources of supply. A change
in suppliers could result in manufacturing delays, which could cause a possible
loss of sales and, consequently, could adversely affect TATs results of
operations and cash position. |
|
c. |
TATs
shares are listed on the NASDAQ and Tel-Aviv stock exchanges. |

d. |
As
of December 31, 2008, TAT owns 61.83% of a U.S. subsidiary: Limco-Piedmont Inc.
(Limco), which completed an initial public offering (IPO)
of its shares on July 18, 2007. Prior to the IPO, TAT owned 100% of Limco.
Pursuant to the completion of the IPO, TAT recognized a gain of $26.4 million,
before taxes of $1.2 million. Of such gain, $21.7 million was attributable to
the sale of 4,205,000 shares to the public by Limco for $41.2 million net of
issuance costs and $4.7 million was attributable to the gain TAT recorded as a
result of the sale of 855,000 shares of common stock of Limco it held for $8.7
million net of issuance costs. |

Acquisition
of Bental Industries Ltd. |
|
On
August 18, 2008, following a series of transactions explained below, TAT acquired 70%
control in Bental Industries Ltd. (Bental), an Israeli company that is a
leading supplier of innovative motion technologies for ground and aviation applications
to the defense and commercial industries. This acquisition expands TATs product
lines as well as increase its operations in the military field while penetrating into new
growing markets. |
|
On
March 27, 2008, TAT entered into an agreement with Bental Investments Cooperative
Agricultural Society Ltd., (Bental Investments), to purchase from it 27% of
the outstanding shares of Bental, together with a call and put option for another 18% of
the outstanding shares of Bental held by Bental Investments. The call option, which was
exercised on March 30, 2009, was for a period of four years commencing January 1, 2009
for an exercise price $2,250, and the put option was for a period of two years commencing
January 1, 2011 for $2,138 (both subject to certain exchange rate adjustments). The
exercise prices carried interest of 2% per annum. |
|
On
April 15, 2008, TAT entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 10% of the
outstanding shares of Bental from Mivtach Shamir Investments (1993) Ltd., (Mivtach),
subject to the completion of the acquisition from Bental Investment. |
|
Following
approvals received, the foregoing transactions with Bental Investments and Mivtach were
consummated on May 21, 2008, as a result of which TAT paid in cash a total of $5,144
(comprised of $3,727 to Bental Investments, $1,380 to Mivtach, and $37 for transaction
costs). |
|
On
August 18, 2008, following the approval of the shareholders meeting of TAT Industries
(the parent company), TAT acquired an additional 15% shareholding in Bental from TAT
Industries for a cash consideration of $1,893, which was based on the price agreed for
the shares in the above transactions. |

Acquisition
of Bental Industries Ltd. (cont.) |
|
The
acquisition of Bental shares was financed by a $5 million loan received from Bank Mizrahi
and TATs resources. See also Note 8. |
|
The
agreement with Bental Investment also provides for the payment of additional
consideration by TAT in the event that during the three year period following the closing
of the transaction TAT consummates an exit, as such term is defined in the
agreement, in such event, Bental Investments will be entitled to additional consideration
for the shares and call option shares (if purchased) equal to a certain percentage of the
difference between the price per share that TAT paid for such shares and the price per
share paid in the exit transaction (30% if the exit is within one year of the closing,
20% if the exit is within two years of the closing and 10% if the exit is within three
years of the closing). |
|
The
acquisition of Bental has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as
determined in SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, as step acquisitions of
37% as of May 21, 2008, and the remaining 33% as of August 18, 2008. The acquisition of
the 15% from TAT Industries was recorded based on the carrying value of the investment in
Industries books of $1,501 (the difference of $392 was recorded to retained earnings).
The liability for 18% call/put option of $2,183 was recorded based on based on EITF
00-04, Majority Owners Accounting for a Transaction in the Shares of a
Consolidated Subsidiary and a Derivative Indexed to the Noncontrolling Interest in that
Subsidiary, as a purchase and financing transaction, since the risks and rewards of
owning the 18% interest have been purchased by TAT. According to the EITF 00-04, TAT
recorded $28 of accrued interest under the call/put option to interest expense during
2008. |

NOTE 2
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), applied on
consistence basis, unless otherwise indicated below. |
|
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose
the nature of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. |
|
b. |
Financial
statements in U.S. dollars: |
|
The
majority of TATs revenues are generated in U.S. dollars (dollar) and a
substantial portion of TATs costs is incurred in dollars. In addition, a
significant portion of TATs financings have been obtained in dollars. Accordingly,
the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which TAT Technologies
Ltd., Limco and TAT GAL Inc. operate and accordingly their functional and reporting
currency is the dollar. |
|
Transactions
and balances of TAT., Limco and TAT GAL Inc. which are denominated in other currencies
have been remeasured into dollars in accordance with principles set forth in SFAS No. 52
Foreign Currency Translation. All exchange gains and losses from the
remeasurement mentioned above are reflected in the statement of income in financial
expenses, net. |
|
For
Bental whose functional currency has been determined to be the New Israeli Shekel, assets
and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, and statement of income items
are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting
translation differences are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive loss in shareholders equity. |
|
c. |
Principles
of consolidation: |
|
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TAT and its subsidiaries.
Intercompany balances and transactions, including profits from intercompany sales not yet
realized outside TAT, have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
|
Cash
equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash
with original maturities of three months or less. |

e. |
Marketable
securities: |
|
Short-term
investments are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities. Management determines the
classification of its investments in marketable debt and equity securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluates such determinations as of each balance sheet date. As of
December 31, 2008, all marketable securities covered by SFAS No. 115, were designated as
available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as a separate component of
shareholders equity classified as other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains
and losses and declines in market value judged to be other than temporary are included in
other income. The unrealized loss of $90 relates to short-term investments deemed to be
temporary and the unrealized loss position is less than twelve months (net of taxes). Dividends
are also included in other income. TATs short-term investments consist of auction
rate tax-exempt securities and corporate and government bonds with maturities of one to
four years. |
|
The
fair value of short-term investments is determined by quoted market prices of the
underlying securities (other than auction rate tax exempt securities see below).
For purposes of determining gross realized gains or losses, the cost of the security is
determined based on specific identification. |
|
Auction
rate securities are variable rate debt securities. While the underlying security has a
long-term nominal maturity, the interest rate is reset through auctions that are
typically held every 7, 28, or 35 days. The securities trade at par and are callable at
par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer. Interest is paid at the end
of each auction period. TAT classified these securities as short-term available-for-sale
because it intends to liquidate them as the need for working capital arises in the
ordinary course of business and is able to liquidate them or roll them over to the next
reset period. During the first three months of 2008 TAT determined to liquidate its
holdings of variable rate debt securities and in January, February and October 2008 it
sold approximately 91% of its auction rate tax-exempt securities portfolio at par and
reinvested the proceeds in high-grade corporate debt, governmental debt instruments and
money market funds. |
|
The
remaining balance of $2.25 million at December 31, 2008 will be sold as the market allows. Should
management determine that these securities were to be held longer than one year then they
would be classified as long-term securities. |
|
In
September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or
SFAS 157. Among other requirements, SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair
value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 is effective beginning the first fiscal
year that begins after November 15, 2007. TAT adopted SFAS 157 during the first
quarter of 2008. Although the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially
impact TATs financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, TAT is now
required to provide additional disclosures as part of the financial statements. |

Marketable
securities (cont.): |
|
SFAS
157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs
such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted
prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3,
defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
|
As of December 31, 2008, TAT held
certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis,
including money market funds and available-for-sale securities. TATs
available-for-sale securities include auction-rate securities which consist of bonds with
an auction reset feature whose underlying assets are Oklahoma state municipal bonds. As a
result of failed auctions, these securities are currently illiquid through the normal
auction process and quoted market prices and other observable market data are not
available or diminished. |
|
Accordingly,
these investments were valued using pricing models based on the net present value of
estimated future cash flows as of December 31, 2008. These securities were also compared,
when possible, to other observable market data with similar characteristics to the
securities held by TAT. |
|
TATs
financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 157 at December 31, 2008, were as follows (in thousands): |

TATs
accounts receivable balances are due from companies primarily in the airline and defense
industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers financial
condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable from sales of
services are typically due from customers within 30 days. Accounts receivable balances
are stated at amounts due from customer net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payments terms are considered past due.
TAT determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of
time accounts receivable are past due, TATs previous loss history, the customers
current ability to pay its obligation to TAT, and the condition of the general economy
and the industry as a whole. TAT writes-off accounts receivable when they become
uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the
allowance for doubtful accounts. |
|
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value. |
|
Inventories
write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from dead and slow-moving items,
discontinued products and excess inventories according to revenue forecasts. |
|
Cost
is determined as follows: |
|
Raw
materials and components using the average cost and the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
methods. |
|
Work
in process represents the cost of raw materials, components and, manufacturing
costs which include direct and indirect allocable costs. Cost of raw materials and
components is determined as described above. Manufacturing costs are determined on
average basis. |
|
Because
TAT sells products and services related to airplane accessories (heat transfer equipment,
APUs, propellers, and landing gear) for airplanes that can be in service for 20 to
50 years, it must keep a supply of such products and parts on hand while the airframes
are in use. TAT writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence and unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated market
value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market
conditions are less favorable than those anticipated, inventory adjustments may be
required. TAT believes that these estimates are reasonable and historically have not
resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods when the estimates are adjusted to
actual amounts. |

Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight line method over the period of the lease
contract, provided that this period does not exceed the useful life of the asset. |
|
Fixed
assets not in use and held for sale, are stated at the lower of net cost or estimated
realizable value. |
|
Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and
betterments of a permanent nature are capitalized. |
|
As
a governmental incentive for industrial companies in Israel, the Investment Center,
which is a branch of the Israel Ministry of Industry and Trade, permits industrial
companies to submit a request to qualify as an Approved Enterprise. An
Approved Enterprise is entitled to certain benefits in respect of capital investments.
The benefits may be in the form of reduced tax rates and of capital grants received as a
percentage of the investments of the Approved Enterprise. The amount of a capital grant
is determined as a percentage of the Approved Enterprise investment in property, plant
and equipment. |
|
These
capital grants are non-royalty bearing and are not conditioned on the results of
operations. As the capital grants are a direct participation in the cost of the
acquisition of property, plant and equipment, they are offset against the cost of
property, plant and equipment. |

Impairment
of long-lived assets: |
|
TATs
long-lived assets (except goodwill see l below) are reviewed for impairment in
accordance with the provisions set fourth in SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144) whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of
the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007
and 2006, no impairment losses have been recognized. |

Goodwill
is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized. In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142),
TAT evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and
between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate a
possible impairment. |
|
In
evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, TAT compared the fair value of the reporting
units to which goodwill is assigned to their carrying value (Step one of the impairment
test). In calculating fair value, TAT used a weighting of the valuations calculated using
market multiples and the income approach. The income approach is a valuation technique
under which TAT estimates future cash flows using the reporting units financial
forecasts. Future estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value to calculate
fair value. The market approach establishes fair value by comparing TAT to other publicly
traded guideline companies or be analysis of actual transactions of similar businesses or
assets sold. The summation of TATs reporting units fair values must be
compared to TATs market capitalization as of the date of the impairment test. In
the situation where a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the
amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The measurement of the impairment (Step
two of the impairment test) is calculated by determining the implied fair value of a
reporting units goodwill. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the
fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities
of that unit based on their values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over
the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of
goodwill. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of
goodwill over its implied fair value. The evaluation performed during 2007 identified
$143 of non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The evaluations performed during 2008 and
2006 did not identify any goodwill impairment losses. |

TAT
generates its revenues from the sale of products and systems (The OEM segments) and from
providing MRO services (remanufacture, repair and overhaul services and long-term service
contracts) and parts services. |
|
Revenues
from the sale of products and services are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB No.
104) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has
occurred, provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable, the price is
fixed or determinable and no significant obligation exists. TAT does not grant a right of
return. |
|
Revenues
from product sales are recognized when product is shipped to the customer and title
passes to the customer. |
|
Revenues
from multi-year, fixed price contracts for OEM customers are recognized when a product is
shipped (and title passes) to the customer. Management provides for losses, if expected
for the remaining portion of such contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007
and 2006, no losses have been recognized for such fixed price contracts. |
|
Revenues
from remanufacture, repair and overhaul (MRO) services are recognized as services are
performed, at the time when the customer-owned material is shipped back to the customer. |
|
Revenues
from maintenance contracts are accounted according to FASB Technical Bulletin No. 90-1
(Amended), Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product
Maintenance Contracts. Accordingly, revenues from maintenance contracts are
recognized over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in
performing services under the contract. TAT estimates the costs that are expected to be
incurred based on its experience with the aggregate costs incurred and to be incurred on
contracts of this nature. The cost incurred related to the maintenance contracts are not
incurred on a straight-line basis, as the timing to provide the maintenance services is
dependent on when parts under these contracts require maintenance, therefore TAT accrue
revenue based on anticipated margins per contract as costs are incurred. These revenues
are then compared to actual results and adjusted to either deferred revenue for results
greater than historical estimates or expensed in those cases of performance less than
historical estimates. These accounts are reviewed monthly and adjusted as needed based on
cost structures. |
|
Revenues
from royalties from sales of products developed with TATs intellectual property,
technology and technical assistance are recognized when the related sales are made. |

Shipping
and handling costs: |
|
Shipping
and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. The cost of shipping and
handling products is included in the costs of revenues. |
|
TAT
provides warranties for its products and services ranging from one to five years, which
vary with respect to each contract and in accordance with the nature of each specific
product. |
|
TAT
estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in
the amount of such costs at the time the product is shipped. TAT periodically assesses
the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. |
|
p. |
Research
and development: |
|
Research
and development costs net of grants and participations received are charged to expenses
as incurred. |
|
Bental
received royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Chief Scientists Office (OCS) for
the purpose of partially funding approved research and development projects. The grants
are not to be repaid, but instead Bental is obliged to pay royalties as a percentage of
future sales if and when sales from the funded projects will be generated. These grants
are recognized as a deduction from research and development costs at the time Bental is
entitled to such grants on the basis of the research and development costs incurred.
Since the payment of royalties is not probable when the grants are received, TAT
recognizes royalty expenses, when the related revenues are recognized, as part of cost of
revenues. For more information regarding OCS royalties commitment, see Note 9 b (2). |
|
Income
taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS
No. 109). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby
deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on temporary
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for
tax loss carryforwards. Deferred taxes are measured using the enacted laws and tax rates
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. TAT provides a
valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated
realizable value, see Note 12j. |
|
Results
for tax purposes are measured and reflected in NIS. As explained in b above, the
consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In accordance with
paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, TAT has not provided deferred income taxes on the
differences resulting from changes in exchange rate and indexation. |

TAT
did not provide for deferred taxes attributable to dividend distribution out of retained
tax-exempt earnings from Approved Enterprise plans (see Note 12 c), since it
has no intention to declare dividends out of such tax exempt income. Management considers
such retained earn to be essentially permanent in duration. |
|
r. |
Concentrations
of credit risk: |
|
Financial
instruments that potentially subject TAT to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. |
|
Cash
and cash equivalents are deposited with major banks in Israel and the United States. Such
deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in
other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold TATs
cash and cash equivalents, are financially sound, and, accordingly, minimal credit risk
exists with respect to these financial instruments. |
|
TATs
marketable securities include investment in debentures and in shares. Management believes
that the companies that issued the debentures and the shares are financially sound, the
portfolio is well diversified, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect
to the marketable securities. |
|
TATs
accounts receivable are derived mainly from sales to customers in the United States,
Israel and Europe. TAT generally does not require collateral, however, in certain
circumstances; TAT may require letters of credit. Management believes that credit risks
relating to accounts receivable are minimal since the majority of TATs customers
are financially sound. TAT performs ongoing credit evaluation of their customersfinancial
condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to specific
debts that are doubtful of collection. |
|
The
allowance for doubtful accounts (income) expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2007 and 2006, was ($1), ($125), and ($116), respectively. |
|
TAT
entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and option strategies (together: derivative
instruments) intended to protect against the increase in value of forecasted
non-dollar currency cash flows. These derivative instruments are designed to provide an
economic hedge to TATs non-dollar currency exposure (see Note 2 u below). |

TATs
severance pay for its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay
Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of
employment as of the balance sheet date. The liability is presented on the undiscounted
basis. TAT records an expense for the net increase in its severance liability. TATs
liability for all of its Israeli employees is fully covered for by monthly deposits with
severance pay funds, insurance policies, Mivtahim Social Insurance Institution Ltd. (Mivtahim)
and by an accrual. |
|
The
liability covered by deposits with Mivtahim is irrevocably transferred to Mivtahim.
Accordingly, neither the amounts accumulated with Mivtahim, nor the corresponding
liabilities for severance pay are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. |
|
The
deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited
funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli
Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the
cash surrendered value of these policies and includes profits (or loss) accumulated
through the balance sheet date. |
|
Severance
expense was $441, $408 and $293 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. |

Limco
Inc. sponsors a 401(K) profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees.
The plan permits the employer to contribute a discretionary amount for a plan year, which
the employer designates as qualified non-elective contribution. Contributions to plan by
TAT were $204, $155 and $176 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. |

Fair
value of financial instruments: |
|
SFAS No. 107
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of
the estimated fair value of an entitys financial instruments. Such disclosures,
which pertain to TATs financial instruments, do not purport to represent the
aggregate net fair value of TAT. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments. |
|
The
estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by TAT using available
market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in
estimating fair values. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts
TAT could realize in a current market exchange. |

TATs
outstanding debt amount as included in the financial statements is equal to its fair
market value. |

The
fair values of long-term liabilities were estimated by discounting the future cash flows,
using the rate currently available for liabilities of similar terms and maturity. The
carrying amount of TATs long-term liabilities approximates their fair value. |

Derivative
financial instruments |
|
As
part of its hedging strategy, TAT enters into forward exchange contracts in order to
protect TAT from the risk that the eventual dollar cash flows from the sale of products
to international customers will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. |
|
TAT
also enters into forward exchange contracts and options strategies in order to limit the
exposure to exchange rate fluctuation associated with payroll expenses mainly incurred in
NIS. TAT elected not to follow the designation and documentation processes required to
qualify for the hedge accounting method under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and any gain or loss derived from such
instruments is recognized immediately as financial expenses, net. |
|
As
of December 31, 2008, TAT had forward contracts with a notional amount of approximately
$5,400 to purchase NIS. These foreign exchange forward put and call options have
maturities of 12 months or less. |

The
fair value of the foreign exchange contracts and the options was not significant as of
December 31, 2008. |

|
Basic
net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares

Impact
of recently issued Accounting Standards: |
|
1. |
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) Business
Combinations, a revision of the original SFAS No. 141". This
statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer at the
acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited
exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces the original Statement 141s
cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be
allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values. TAT is required to adopt the revised SFAS No. 141
on January 1, 2009, in relation to future business combinations. TAT is
currently evaluating the potential impact of the revised SFAS No. 141 on
TATs consolidated financial statements. |
|
2. |
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling
interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and
clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership
interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also required expanded
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.
TAT is required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. TAT is currently
evaluating the potential impact of the SFAS No. 160 on TATs consolidated
financial statements. |
|
3. |
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133, (SFAS No. 161). This statement requires that objectives for
using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and
accounting designation. TAT is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1,
2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact
on TATs consolidated financial statements. |
|
Certain
financial statement data for prior years has been reclassified to conform to current year
financial statement presentation. The classification did not have an impact on net income

TAT
recorded the fair value of the credit line, which amounted to $265, as deferred charges,
which were amortized throughout the term of the credit line agreement. As such, the total
proceeds received for the issuance of shares and warrants, consisting of cash and a
provision of a credit line, amounted to $6,265 from which issuance expenses in the amount
of $273 were deducted. In addition, a consulting agreement was entered into with the
investors, see Note 7e. |
|
On
September 5, 2006, TAT notified the investor on the cancellation of the credit line,
which was not utilized by it since the date of grant. As a result, TAT recorded the
unamortized portion of the deferred charge, amounted to $149 to financial expenses. |

On
February 21, 2007, the investor exercised its warrant to purchase 500,000 Ordinary shares
of NIS 0.9 par value each, according to the investment agreement, for an exercise price
of $6.94 per share, which reflected the base exercise price of $8.5 reduced by the effect
of dividends during the period the warrants were outstanding. |

The
intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of
the underlying stock on December 31, 2008 exceeds the strike price of the
option. There was no aggregate intrinsic value at December 31, 2008
as Limco stock price of $3.03 on December 31, 2008 was below the exercise price
of all of the outstanding stock options. The aggregate intrinsic
value at December 31, 2007 was $570. |
|
The
weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2.63 and $5.38, respectively. There were 60,000
options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008. |

The
following table summarizes Limcos weighted average assumptions used in the

Limco
uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value
of options. The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based
on historical stock price fluctuations. Due to the relative short period of the time
Limco has been public TAT has estimated a 0% forfeiture rate. The expected term of
options is based on the simplified method as allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletins
(SAB) Nos. 107 and 110 issued by the SEC. The simplified method assumes
the option will be exercised midway between the vesting date and the contractual term of
the option. Limco is able to use the simplified method as the options qualify
as plain vanilla options as defined by SAB No. 107 and since Limco does not
have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate
expected term. Expected dividend yield is based upon Limcos historical and
projected dividend activity and the risk free interest rate is based upon US Treasury
rates appropriate for the expected term of the options. |
|
On
February 25, 2009, subsequent to the balance sheet, Limco granted certain directors and
senior management with options to purchase 230,000 shares of common stock, for an
exercise price of $2.16. The fair value of each option granted is $1.06, calculated at
the grant date. |

unregistered options of Series A, B and C to its Chief Executive Officer. Each
options Series A, B and C vest over two, three and four years from May 19,
2008, respectively, and expires three years after vesting. Each Series A, B and
C option can be exercised for one ordinary share 0.9 NIS par value, for a
consideration of $6.15 (adjusted for dividend distribution and other equity
changes as defined in the option grant terms), alternatively, the Chief
Executive Officer can opt to receive TAT ordinary shares based on the value of
the appreciation over the exercise price. |

Measurement
of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985: |
|
In
accordance with the above law results for tax purposes are measured and reflected in real
terms in accordance with the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI). Under the
Inflationary adjustments law (Amendment No. 20, 2008, hereafter the amendment),
that was enacted in the Israeli Parliament on February 26, 2008, the provisions of the
Inflationary adjustments law will no longer apply to TAT in 2008 and thereafter. The
amendment specifies transitional provisions regarding the discontinuance of the
provisions of the Inflationary adjustments law that have applied to TAT through the end
of 2007. |

Tax
benefits under Israels Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation),
1969: |
|
TAT
is an industrial company, as defined by the law for the Encouragement of
Industry (Taxes), 1969, and as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits, which mainly
consist of amortization of costs relating to know-how and patents over eight years, the
right to claim public issuance expenses, and accelerated depreciation. |

Tax
benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the
Law): |
|
Certain
expansion plans of TAT and its Israeli subsidiary Bental, have been granted an
Approved Enterprise status, under the Law. For some expansion programs,
Bental have elected the grants track, and for one expansion program, TAT has elected to
receive its benefits through the alternative benefits track, waiving grants
in return for tax exemptions. Pursuant thereto, the increase in income from the date of
commencement of each program which is the income of TAT derived from the Approved
Enterprise expansion program is tax-exempt for the first two years and eligible for
reduced tax rates of 25% for a period of five years thereafter (such reduced tax rates
are dependent on the level of foreign investments in TAT), limited to twelve years from
commencement of production or fourteen years from the date of approval, whichever is
earlier. As of December 31, 2008, the tax benefits for these existing expansion programs
will expire within the period of 2009 to 2021. |
|
The
entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon TAT fulfilling the conditions
stipulated by the abovementioned law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of
approval for the specific investments in approved enterprises. In the event
of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and TAT may be
required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including interest
(as for liens, see Note 9f). As of December 31, 2008, management believes that TAT
is meeting all of the aforementioned conditions. |
|
The
tax-exempt income attributable to the Approved Enterprise can not be
distributed to shareholders without imposing tax liability on TAT other than in complete
liquidation. As of December 31, 2008, there is approximately $9,439 tax-exempt income
earned by TATs Approved Enterprises. If the retained tax-exempt income
is distributed to shareholders, it would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to
such profits as if TAT had not elected the alternative tax benefits track (currently
25%). |
|
Income
of TAT from sources other than the Approved Enterprises during the benefit
period will be subject to tax at the effective standard corporate tax rate in Israel, see
Note 12d below. |

Tax
benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the
Law) (cont.): |
|
On
April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Law came into effect (the Amendment) and
has significantly changed the provisions of the Law. The Amendment limits the scope of
enterprises which may be approved by the Investment Center by setting criteria for the
approval of a facility as an Approved Enterprise, such as provisions generally requiring
that at least 25% of the Approved Enterprises income will be derived from export.
Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are
awarded under the Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in
order to qualify for tax benefits. |
|
However,
the Law provides that terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval already
granted will remain subject to the provisions of the Law as they were on the date of such
approval. Therefore, TATs existing Approved Enterprise expansion programs will
generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of the
amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the Amendment, will
subject TAT to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and TAT may be required to record
deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income. As of December 31, 2008,
management believes that TAT is meeting all of the aforementioned conditions under the
Amendment. |

d. |
Reduction
of Israeli corporate tax rate: |
|
On
July 25, 2005, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed an amendment to the
Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147), that provides, among other things, the corporate tax rate
to be gradually reduced to the following tax rates: 2004 35%, 2005 34%,
2006 31%, 2007 29%, 2008 27%, 2009 26% and 2010 and
thereafter 25%. |
|
U.S.
subsidiaries are taxed based on federal and state tax laws. The effective tax
rate for 2008, 2007, and 2006 was 41.48%, 35.6% and 36.8%, respectively. |
|
TATs
income tax assessments are considered final through 2001. Bental income tax assessments
are considered final through 2006. Limco income tax assessments are considered final
through 2007. TAT-GAL Inc. which was incorporated in 2008, has not received final tax
assessment yet. |

As
of December 31, 2008, TAT did not provide a valuation allowance in respect of deferred
tax assets, since management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax asset will be realized in the future. |
|
TAT
does not intend to distribute earnings of a foreign subsidiary aggregating $17,463 as of
December 31, 2008, and accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been established
relative to these earnings. If these amounts were not considered permanently reinvested,
a deferred tax liability would have been required. |

Effective
January 1, 2007, TAT adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation
of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model
for how companies should recognize, measure, present and disclose in their
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a
tax return. Under FIN 48, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be
sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall
initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with
the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant
facts. FIN 48 also revises disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular
rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits. TAT was required to apply the
provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions upon initial adoption with any
cumulative effect adjustment to be recognized as an adjustment to retained
earnings. |
|
As
a result of adoption of FIN 48, TAT reclassified $147 from income tax payables to
unrecognized benefits with no impact to previously recorded retained earnings. |
|
During
2008, Limco was audited by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended December
31, 2006. It was the determination of the Internal Revenue Service that Limco had
deemed dividend distributions to TAT related to interest expense charged during 2005,
2006 and 2007. Interest and penalties totaling $43 have been charged to income
tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2008. The audit is now closed
and Limco believes that the only tax years open for audit is the year ended December
31, 2008. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|
a. |
Subsequent
to December 31, 2008, Limco announced that it would relocate the
operations of its Oklahoma subsidiary to the location of its Piedmont
subsidiary in North Carolina. Limco anticipates closing the Oklahoma
operations in the third quarter of 2009. The goal of this
relocation is to achieve significant annual cost savings. Limco entered
into a lease for a new facility in Kernersville, North Carolina of
approximately 56,000 square feet, which will house its operations being
relocated from Oklahoma. The lease, which expires on November 1, 2011,
provides for 2 renewal options, each for a five year term. The lease
provides for an annual rental fee of $86. |
|
b. |
On
April 3, 2009, TAT and Limco, its subsidiary company, announced that they
have entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to
which TAT (which presently owns 61.8% of Limcos common stock) will
acquire all of the publicly held shares of common stock of Limco, pursuant
to a stock for stock merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Limcos
shareholders will receive one half of an ordinary share of TAT for each
share of Limco common stock they own. The exchange ratio in the
transaction represents a premium of 12% to Limcos closing share
price on April 2, 2009 (the day before the announcement of the merger). It
also represents a premium of 24.3% to Limcos weighted average volume
stock price on the NASDAQ global market over the 20 trading days prior to
the announcement of the merger. |
|
Following
the merger, the former Limco shareholders (excluding TAT) will own approximately 27.8% of
the ordinary shares of TAT. |

NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Cont.)
|
It
is also anticipated that following the merger TAT Industries, the controlling shareholder
of TAT, which holds approximately 59% of the ordinary shares of TAT, as of the
announcement day, will own approximately 42% of the ordinary shares of TAT and Isal
Investment Ltd., the beneficial owner of 71% of the ordinary shares of TAT (through
direct holding and through its control in TAT Industries) will be the beneficial owner of
approximately 51% of the ordinary shares of TAT. |
|
The
transaction is subject to approval of Limcos shareholders, representing at least a
majority of the outatanding shares of Limco common stock and other customary closing
conditions. TAT, which holds 61.8% of Limcos outstanding common stock, has advised
Limcos board that it intends to vote for approval and adoption of the merger.
Approval of the merger by TATs shareholders is not required. It is anticipated that
the closing of the merger will occur in the second or third quarter of 2009. |

consummation of the merger, Limco will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TAT,
maintaining its current management. |

On
April 8, 2009, a petition was filed in the District Court of Tulsa County, State of
Oklahoma captioned Chris Gassen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated (herein after The Plaintiff) against Limco and its Directors (Shmuel
Fledel, Jacob Gesthalter, Michael Gorin, Giora Inbar, Avraham Ortal, and Eran Goren),
hereinafter The Defendants. The action, which purports to be on behalf of a
class comprised of the public stockholders of Limco, seeks relief against Limco and its
Directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in
connection with the merger. Plaintiff claims, among other things, that the defendants are
attempting to sell Limco by means of an unfair process and for an unfair price and that
defendants have failed to disclose all material information concerning the merger.
Plaintiff is seeking to enjoin the consummation of the merger, monetary damages, and an
award of costs, including attorneys fees. The Companys management is of the
opinion that the action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claims. |
