Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The aggregate purchase price for the subject securities was $6,000,001.

The balance of the purchase price came from Ta-Tops working capital.
Item 4:
Purpose of the Transaction.
The Shares were acquired for investment purposes.
(a)
On June 15, 2004, the Issuer entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Ta-Top, pursuant to which Ta-Top acquired 857,143 shares of the Issuer's common stock and a 66-month warrant to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $8.50 per share (which exercise price was adjusted to $7.32 per share because of the Issuers 2004 dividend payment), all in consideration for $6,000,001. As part of the transaction, the Issuers parent company TAT Industries Ltd., certain management shareholders of the Issuer and Ta-Top entered into a shareholder's agreement (the Agreement), a copy of which is annexed as an exhibit hereto, which provided for certain standard bring along and tag along rights, as well as a right of first refusal with respect to any shares proposed to be sold by any of the parties. The Agreement also provided for a lock-up whereby no party may sell more than 150,000 shares prior to June 2006, and a standstill restriction, which provided that Ta-
Top would not purchase (in the open market or otherwise) an amount of shares, which would increase its ownership of the Issuer to above 35%.
(d)
The Agreement also provides that Ta-Top will have the right to designate three members to serve on the Issuers Board of Directors (including Mr. Davidi). The Issuer further agreed to engage Ta-Top to provide certain management services to the Issuer in exchange for annual payments equal to 3% of the Issuers operating profit for that year in excess of $500,000; provided, however, that in no event would the total management fees in any given year exceed $250,000 per annum.
(f)
As part of the transaction, FIMI Opportunity and the Issuer entered into a Credit Line Agreement, which provided for a line of credit from FIMI Opportunity to the Issuer in an amount of up to $2,000,000. Loans made pursuant to the credit line bear interest at 5% per annum and are repayable on or before December 15, 2009. The Issuer must pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.5% of the amount of the credit line.
Item 5:

For purposes of Section 13(d), the reporting persons, namely Ta-Top, Ta-Tek, FIMI Opportunity, FIMI 2001 and Mr. Davidi, beneficially own an aggregate of 1,357,143 (including 500,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant), which constitutes 20.74% of the class (assuming conversion of the Warrant, or 14.18% if the Warrant is not so converted), and which does not include any shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by (i) TAT Industries Ltd., the Issuers parent company (TAT Industries), and (ii) certain management shareholders of the Issuer (the Insiders).
