                                 INTRODUCTION

     We are a leading provider of wireless broadband connectivity solutions and
specialized cellular networks. Our products are used primarily to provide
wireless broadband data and voice services for subscribers in the "last mile" of
connectivity as well as for feeding cellular networks, for creating cellular
network extensions and compact specialized cellular networks. With our
comprehensive product offerings, we provide a broad range of integrated wireless
broadband solutions operating in licensed and license-free bands ranging from
450 MHz to 26 GHz and comply with industry standards. These solutions address
different markets and the various business models of carriers, service providers
and private network operators. We have played a prominent role in creating and
promoting industry standards, including our leading role in the WiMAX Forum(TM)
(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, Inc.), an organization focused
on increasing the widespread adoption of standards-based products in the
wireless broadband market and leading the industry to mobile WiMAX solutions.

     We were incorporated in September 1992 under the laws of the State of
Israel. In August 2001, under the name of BreezeCOM, we merged with Floware
Wireless Systems Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of
Israel, or Floware. Following the merger, we continued as the surviving company
and we changed our name to Alvarion Ltd. In April 2003, we completed the
acquisition of InnoWave ECI Wireless Systems Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ECI Telecom Ltd., or InnoWave. In December 2004, interWAVE Communications
International Ltd., or interWAVE, was acquired through a merger with and into
Alvarion.

     D.   RISK FACTORS

     Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
seriously harmed due to any of the following risks, among others. If we do not
successfully address the risks to which we are subject, we could experience a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition and our share price may decline. We cannot assure you that we will
successfully address any of these risks.

                 Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

We have incurred losses in the past and may incur losses in the future.

     While we had a net profit in 2004, we incurred operating losses and net
losses in 2003 and 2002. In 2004, our operating loss and net income were
approximately $(3.0) million and $0.9 million, respectively. In 2003, our
operating loss and net loss were approximately $(15.9) million and $(11.8)
million, respectively. In 2002, our operating loss and net loss were
approximately $(27.3) million and $(20.7) million, respectively. Although we
were profitable in 2004, we may incur operating and net losses again in the
future. Losses or a decrease in our net income could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the
value and market price of our ordinary shares.

Adverse conditions in the telecommunications industry and in the
telecommunications equipment market may decrease demand for our products and may
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     Our systems are used by telecom carriers and service providers. The
slowdown in the telecommunications industry from 2001 through the beginning of
2003 curtailed the ability of existing and prospective carriers and service
providers to finance purchases of products such as ours. In addition some
carriers and service providers using wireless broadband are emerging companies
with unproven business models. During 2003 and 2004, we perceived an improvement
in the general market for telecommunications equipment. However, due to the past
volatility of the market, we cannot predict the duration or extent of any
recovery in this market or the impact it may have on our revenues or results of
operations. Market conditions could continue to cause our customers and
potential customers to be conservative in their spending.

     The markets that we participate in may not grow as we expect or at all.
While our goal is to increase our sales by expanding the number of carrier
customers that we address, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in
doing so. The number of carriers and service providers who are our potential
customers is relatively small and may not grow because of the limited number of
licenses granted in each country and the substantial comparative capital
requirements involved in establishing networks.


                                       3


If we do not maintain or increase our share of the wireless broadband equipment
and specialized cellular network markets, our business will suffer. In addition
new markets we attempt to penetrate may not become substantial commercial
markets.

     In order to maintain or increase our share of the markets we participate
in, we must:

          o    sustain our attained technology position in designing,
               developing, and manufacturing wireless broadband and specialized
               cellular network products;

          o    develop and cultivate additional sales channels, including
               original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, agreements or other
               strategic arrangements with leading manufacturers of access
               equipment to market our wireless broadband products to
               prospective customers, such as local exchange carriers, cellular
               operators, Internet and application service providers and local
               telephone companies; and

          o    effectively establish and support relationships with customers,
               including local exchange carriers, Internet and application
               service providers, public fixed or mobile telephone service
               providers and private network operators sometimes offered on
               special commercial terms.

     Our efforts in these markets may not succeed. In addition the mobile market
and any future markets that we may attempt to penetrate may not become
substantial commercial markets or may not evolve in a manner that will enable
our products to achieve market acceptance.

If customers refrain from buying our current proprietary products in order to
wait for our standards-compliant, WiMAX certified products, our business will
suffer.

     WiMAX certification relates to two industry standards, IEEE 802.16d and
802.16e. We may suffer temporarily from the market transition to WiMAX certified
products as customers may slow their purchases of our proprietary technology in
order to wait for WiMAX certified products. In addition, the introduction of
Wimax certified products may not increase the demand for wireless broadband
solutions and this may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our standards-compliant, WiMAX ready products, may not receive the certification
that we expect, which may affect our future business.

     We rely on the recently developed WiMAX technology. Products based on this
technology may not receive certification in the time frame we expect, or at all,
and may therefore not achieve the wide acceptance that we are seeking. Market
changes could render this technology obsolete or subject to intense competition
by alternative technologies. This may harm the sales of our standards compliant
products, and consequently, our results of operations.

If we lose large customers we may not succeed in replacing them and our revenues
will be adversely affected.

     In 2002, one of our customers was responsible for 11.4% of our 2002 sales
and another was responsible for 10.3% of our sales. In 2003, 13.9% of our sales
were to a Latin American operator, and in 2004, this operator accounted for
30.6% of our sales If revenues from these customers decline, or we lose these
large customers, we may not be successful in replacing them on a timely basis,
or at all, and our revenues may be adversely affected.

Our products have long and unpredictable sales cycles. This could adversely
impact our revenues and net income.

     The sales cycle for our licensed band and cellular mobile products
encompasses significant technical evaluation and testing by each potential
purchaser and a commitment of significant cash and other resources. The sales
cycle can extend for as long as one year from initial contact with a carrier to
receipt of a purchase order. This time frame may be extended due to, among other
reasons, a carrier's need to obtain financing to purchase systems incorporating
our products, the regulatory authorization of competition in local services,
delays in the licensing of spectrum for these services and other regulatory
hurdles.

     As a result of the length of this sales cycle, revenues from our products
may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and fail to correspond with associated
expenses, which are largely based on anticipated revenues. In addition, the


                                       4


delays inherent in the sales cycle of our products raise additional risks of
customers canceling or changing their product plans. Our revenues will be
adversely affected if a significant customer, or significant potential customer,
reduces, delays or cancels orders during the sales cycle of the products or
chooses not to deploy networks incorporating our products. Any such fluctuation
in revenue or cancellation of orders could affect the market price of our
ordinary shares.

Our business is dependent upon the success of distributors who are under no
obligation to purchase our products.

     A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to independent
distributors. These distributors then resell the products to others, who further
resell those products to end-users. The three largest distributors of our
products accounted for a total of approximately 20.9% of our sales in 2002,
13.1% of our sales in 2003, and less than 10% of our sales in 2004. If we
terminate or lose any of these distributors, we may not be successful in
replacing them on a timely basis, or at all. Any changes in the distribution and
sales channels of our products, particularly the loss of a major distributor or
our inability to establish effective distribution and sales channels for new
products will impact our ability to sell our products and result in a loss of
revenues. We are dependent upon the acceptance of our products by the market
through our distributors' efforts in marketing and sales. In some cases,
arrangements with our distributors do not prevent them from selling competitive
products and those arrangements do not contain minimum sales or marketing
performance requirements. These distributors may not give a high priority to
marketing and supporting our products. Changes in the financial condition,
business or marketing strategies of these distributors could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations. Any of these changes could occur
suddenly and rapidly.

Our business depends in part on original equipment manufacturers and systems
integrators.

     The success of the sales of our wireless broadband products currently
depends in part on existing relationships with OEMs or other system integrators.
A portion of our systems is sold to and through telecommunications systems
integrators for integration into their systems, rather than directly to
carriers. The sale of our wireless broadband products depends in part on the
OEMs' and systems integrators' active marketing and sales efforts as well as the
quality of their integration efforts and post-sales support. Sales through the
OEM and system integrator channels exposes this business to a number of risks,
each of which could result in a reduction in the sales of our wireless broadband
products.

     We face the risk of termination of these relationships and the promotion of
competing products or emphasis on alternative technologies by these OEMs and
systems integrators. In addition, our efforts to increase sales may suffer from
the lack of brand visibility resulting from OEMs' and systems integrators'
integration of these products into more comprehensive systems. If any of these
risks materializes, we will need to develop alternative methods of marketing
these products. Until we do so, sales of our wireless broadband products may
decline.

We are also dependent upon the success of our direct sales efforts.

     Direct sales accounted for a total of approximately 14.5% of our sales in
2002, 28.4% of our sales in 2003, and 52% of our sales in 2004. Direct sales
customers are not under any obligation to purchase our products. Some of these
customers do not have long business histories and have encountered, and may
continue to encounter, financial difficulty, including difficulty in obtaining
credit to purchase our products. These customers typically purchase our products
on a project-by-project basis, so that continuity of purchases by these
customers is not assured. We do not necessarily retain sales personnel with
carrier sales expertise, and may face difficulty locating and retaining carrier
customers who purchase directly. If we are unable to effectively continue our
direct sales efforts of our products, our results of operations could be
materially adversely affected. Any such change could occur suddenly and rapidly.

We may not successfully integrate the business operations of interWAVE. Our
failure to do so might harm our results of operations and share price.

     In December 2004, we completed the acquisition of interWAVE. The challenges
of integrating the business operations of the companies include demonstrating to
our customers that the acquisition will not result in an adverse change in
business focus and persuading our personnel that the companies' respective
business cultures are compatible,


                                       5


and that we can overcome the differences in culture and time zones. To
successfully integrate both companies' operations, we need to retain management,
key employees and business partners of both companies and to gain the benefit of
each company's strengths. If we are unable to effectively complete the
integration of the two companies' operations, technologies and personnel in a
timely and efficient manner, we will not realize the benefits we expect from the
acquisition and our business, financial conditions and results of operations may
be materially adversely affected.

Under the terms of our merger transaction with interWAVE Communications
International Ltd., we are liable for interWAVE's pre merger liabilities.

     The merger of interWAVE with and into us in December 2004, resulted in our
assuming all of the liabilities of interWAVE existing at the time of the merger.
If such liabilities exceed the liabilities we are aware of and have provided for
in our financial statements or if there are liabilities that we were not aware
of at the time of the merger, this could have an adverse affect on us.

We may engage in future acquisitions that could harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition, and dilute our stockholders' equity.

     We have pursued, and will continue to pursue, growth opportunities through
internal development and acquisition of complementary businesses, products and
technologies. We are unable to predict whether or when any other prospective
acquisition will be completed. The process of integrating an acquired business
may be prolonged due to unforeseen difficulties and may require a
disproportionate amount of our resources and management's attention. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition
candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses into our
operations, or expand into new markets. Further, once integrated, acquisitions
may not achieve comparable levels of revenues, profitability or productivity as
our existing business or otherwise perform as expected. The occurrence of any of
these events could harm our business, financial condition or results of
operations. Future acquisitions may require substantial capital resources, which
may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing.

     Future acquisitions by us could result in the following, any of which could
seriously harm our results of operations or the price of our stock:

          o    issuance of equity securities that would dilute our current
               stockholders' percentages of ownership;

          o    large one-time write-offs;

          o    the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities;

          o    difficulties in the assimilation and integration of operations,
               personnel, technologies, products and information systems of the
               acquired companies;

          o    diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

          o    contractual disputes;

          o    risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we
               have no or only limited prior experience; and

          o    potential loss of key employees of acquired organizations.

Our failure to manage growth effectively could impair our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

     Our rapid growth, including our amalgamation with interWAVE, our
acquisition of most of the assets and assumed liabilities of InnoWave, and our
merger with Floware, has significantly strained our management, operational and
financial resources. Any future growth including mergers and acquisitions may
increase the strain on our management, operational and financial resources. If
we do not succeed in managing future growth effectively, we may not be able to
meet the demand, if any, for our products and we may lose sales or customers,
harming our business, financial condition and results of operations.


                                       6


Rapid technological change may have an adverse affect on the market acceptance
for our products.

     The markets for our products and the technologies utilized in the industry
in which we operate evolve rapidly. We rely on key technologies, including
wireless LAN, wireless packet data, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,
or OFDM, time division multiplexing, modem and radio technologies and other
technologies, which we have been selling for several years, as well as the
recently developed WiMAX technology and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) or
other 3G products. These technologies may be replaced with alternative
technologies or may otherwise not achieve the wide acceptance that we are
seeking. In particular, there is a substantial risk that the wireless broadband
technologies underlying our products may not achieve market acceptance for use
in access applications.

     Market changes could render our products and technologies obsolete or
subject them to intense competition by alternative products or technologies or
by improvements in existing products or technologies. For example, the wireless
broadband equipment market may stop growing as a result of the deployment of
alternative technologies, that are constantly improving, such as DSL, cable
modem, fiber optic, coaxial cable, satellite systems, third generation cellular
systems or otherwise. New or enhanced products developed by other companies may
be technologically superior to our products, and limit our addressable market,
or render our products obsolete.

     The success of our technology depends on the following factors, among
others:

          o    acceptance of new and innovative technologies;

          o    acceptance of standards for wireless broadband products;

          o    timely availability and maturity of technology from technology
               suppliers, such as Intel;

          o    capacity to handle growing demands for faster transmission of
               increasing amounts of data and voice;

          o    its cost-effectiveness and performance compared to other
               broadband technologies;

          o    its reliability and security;

          o    its suitability for a sufficient number of geographic regions;

          o    the availability of sufficient frequencies and site locations for
               carriers to deploy and install products at commercially
               reasonable rates; and

          o    safety and environmental concerns regarding wireless broadband
               transmissions.

We may experience difficulties in the introduction of new or enhanced products,
which could result in reduced sales, unexpected expenses or delays in the launch
of new or enhanced products.

     The development of new or enhanced products is a complex and uncertain
process. We may experience design, manufacturing, marketing and other
difficulties that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or
marketing of new products or product enhancements. The difficulties could result
in reduced sales, unexpected expenses of delays in the launch of new or enhanced
products, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our products are complex and may have errors or defects that are detected only
after deployment in complex networks.

     Some of our products are highly complex and are designed to be deployed in
complex networks like the cellular mobile products for example. Although our
products are tested during manufacturing and prior to deployment, our customers
may discover errors after the products have been fully deployed. If we are
unable to fix errors or other problems that may be identified in full
deployment, we could experience:

          o    costs associated with the remediation of any problems;

          o    loss of or delay in revenues;

          o    loss of customers;

          o    failure to achieve market acceptance and loss of market share;


                                       7


          o    diversion of deployment resources;

          o    diversion of research and development resources to fix errors in
               the field;

          o    increased service and warranty costs;

          o    legal actions or demands for compensation by our customers; and

          o    increased insurance costs.

     In addition, our products often are integrated with other network
components. There may be incompatibilities between these components and our
products that could significantly harm the service provider or its subscribers.
Product problems in the field could require us to incur costs or divert
resources to remedy the problems and subject us to liability for damages caused
by the problems or delay in research and development projects because of the
diversion of resources. These problems could also harm our reputation and
competitive position in the industry.

Existing and potential industry standards may have a negative impact on our
business.

     We have developed and continue to develop our products with a view to
compliance with existing standards and anticipated future standards. We
expended, and intend to continue to expend, substantial resources in developing
products and product features that are designed to conform to such standards. In
addition, although we developed our products with a view to compliance with
existing standards and anticipated compliance with future standards, we may not
be able to introduce on a timely basis products that comply with industry
standards.

     Certain standards on which we base our products and technology (such as
IEEE 802.16e, GSM and CDM2000) may not continue to be or will not be broadly
adopted which could significantly limit our market opportunity and harm our
business. In addition, our focus on anticipated future standards, including the
IEEE 802.16e standard, may lead to delays in introducing products designed for
current standards.

     Our strategy of seeking to anticipate and comply with industry standards is
subject to the following additional risks, among others:

          o    the standards ultimately adopted by the industry may vary from
               those anticipated by us, causing our products (which were
               designed to meet anticipated standards) to fail to comply with
               established standards;

          o    even if our products do comply with established standards, these
               standards are not mandatory and consumers may prefer to purchase
               products that do not comply with them or that comply with new or
               competing standards; and

          o    product standardization may have the effect of lowering barriers
               to entry in the markets in which we seek to sell our products, by
               diminishing product differentiation and causing competition to be
               based upon criteria such as the relative size and marketing
               skills of competitors. We may have greater disadvantages in
               competing on the basis of these criteria than on the basis of
               product differentiation.

     These risks, among others, may harm our sales and, consequently, our
results of operations.

Standardization and increased competition may have an adverse effect on our
gross margins.

     Standardization of product features may increase the number of competitive
product offerings. Furthermore, our competitors may also attempt to influence
the adoption of standards that are not compatible with our products.
Standardization also results in lower average selling prices. Increased
competition, direct and indirect, has resulted in, and is likely to continue to
result in, reductions of average selling prices, shorter product life cycles,
reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share and,
consequently, could adversely affect our sales and profitability.

Government regulation may increase our costs of doing business, limit our
potential markets or require changes to our products that may be difficult and
costly.

     Our business is premised on the availability of certain radio frequencies
for two-way broadband communications. Radio frequencies are subject to extensive
regulation under the laws of each country and international treaties. Each
country has different regulation and regulatory processes for wireless
communications


                                       8


equipment and uses of radio frequencies. In the United States, our products are
subject to the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, rules and regulations.
In other countries, our products are subject to national or regional radio
authority rules and regulations. Current FCC regulations permit license-free
operation in FCC-certified bands in the radio spectrum in the United States. In
other countries the situation varies as to the spectrum, if any, that may be
used without a license and as to the permitted purposes of such use. Some of our
products operate in license-free bands, while others operate in licensed bands.
The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to significant change,
the results and timing of which are uncertain.

     In many countries the unavailability of radio frequencies for two-way
broadband communications has inhibited the growth of these networks. The process
of establishing new regulations for wireless broadband frequencies and
allocating these frequencies to operators is complex and lengthy. The regulation
of frequency licensing began during 1999 in many countries in Europe and South
America and continues in many countries in these and other regions. However,
this frequency licensing regulation process may suffer from delays that may
postpone the commercial deployment of products that operate in licensed bands in
any country that experiences this delay. Our current customers that commercially
deploy our licensed band products have already been granted appropriate
frequency licenses for their network operation. In some cases, the continued
validity of these licenses may be conditional on the licensee complying with
various conditions. In addition to regulation of available frequencies, our
products must conform to a variety of national and international regulations
that require compliance with administrative and technical requirements as a
condition to the operation of marketing or devices that emit radio frequency
energy. These requirements were established, among other things, to avoid
interference among users of radio frequencies and permit interconnection of
equipment.

     The regulatory environment in which we sell our products subjects us to
several risks, including the following:

          o    Our customers may not be able to obtain sufficient frequencies
               for their planned uses of our wireless broadband products.

          o    Failure by the regulatory authorities to allocate suitable and
               sufficient radio frequencies in a timely manner could deter
               potential customers from ordering our wireless broadband
               products. Also, licenses to use certain frequencies and other
               regulations may include terms which affect the desirability of
               using our products and the ability of our customers to grow.

          o    If our products operate in the license-free bands, FCC rules and
               similar rules in other countries require operators of radio
               frequency devices, such as our products, to cease operation of a
               device if its operation causes interference with authorized users
               of the spectrum and to accept interference caused by other users.

          o    If the use of our products interferes with authorized users, or
               if users of our products experience interference from other
               users, market acceptance of our products could be adversely
               affected.

          o    Regulatory changes, including changes in the allocation of
               available frequency spectrum, may significantly impact our
               operations by rendering our current products obsolete or
               non-compliant, or by restricting the applications and markets
               served by our products.

          o    Regulatory changes and restrictions imposed due to environmental
               concerns, such as restrictions imposed on the location of outdoor
               antennas.

          o    We may not be able to comply with all applicable regulations in
               each of the countries where our products are sold and we may need
               to modify our products to meet local regulations.

     In addition, we are subject to export control laws and regulations with
respect to all of our products and technology. We are subject to the risk that
more stringent export control requirements could be imposed in the future on
product classes that include products exported by us.

We must be able to manage expenses and inventory risks associated with meeting
the demand of our customers.

     To ensure that we are able to meet customer demand for our products, we
place orders with our subcontractors and suppliers based on our estimates of
future sales. If actual sales differ materially from these estimates, our


                                       9


inventory levels and expenses may be adversely affected and our business and
results of operations could suffer. We wrote-off inventory in 2002, 2003 and
2004.

We depend on a number of manufacturing subcontractors with limited manufacturing
capacity, and these manufacturers may be unable to fill our orders on a timely
basis and at the quality specifications that we require. As a result, we may not
meet our customers' demands, harming our business and results of operations.

     We currently depend on a number of contract manufacturers with limited
manufacturing capacity to manufacture our products. The assembly of certain of
our finished products, the manufacture of custom printed circuit boards utilized
in electronic subassemblies and related services are also performed by these
independent subcontractors. In addition, we rely on third-party "turn-key"
manufacturers to manufacture certain sub-systems for our products.

     Reliance on third party manufacturers exposes us to significant risks,
including risks resulting from:

          o    potential lack of manufacturing capacity;

          o    limited control over delivery schedules;

          o    quality assurance and control;

          o    manufacturing yields and production costs;

          o    voluntary or involuntary termination of their relationship with
               us;

          o    difficulty in, and timeliness of, substituting any of our
               contract manufacturers, which could take as long as six months or
               more;

          o    the economic and political conditions in their environment; and

          o    their financial strength.

     If the operations of our contract manufacturers are halted, even
temporarily, or if they are unable to operate at full capacity for an extended
period of time, we may experience business interruption, increased costs, loss
of goodwill and loss of customers.

     We are required to place manufacturing orders well in advance of the time
we expect to sell products, and this may result in us ordering greater or lesser
amount of these products than required. Because we outsource the manufacture of
several of our products, we are required to place manufacturing orders well in
advance of the time when we expect to sell these products. In the event that we
order the manufacture of a greater or lesser amount of these products than we
will ultimately require, we are generally obligated to purchase the surplus
products or to forego or delay the sale or delivery of the products that we did
not order in advance. In either case, our business and results of operations may
be adversely affected. Any of these risks could result in manufacturing delays
or increases in manufacturing costs and expenses. For example, in 2003 and 2004
we recorded in our balance sheet, an allowance for irrevocable inventory
purchase commitments in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.3 million and
$4.8 million, respectively, as a result of over-estimation of our sales. If we
experience manufacturing delays, we could lose orders for our products and, as a
result, lose customers. There may be an adverse affect on our profitability and
consequently on our results of operations, if we incur increased costs.

Our dependence on limited sources for key components of our products may lead to
disruptions in the delivery and cost of our products, harming our business and
results of operations.

     We currently obtain key components for our products from a limited number
of suppliers, and in some instances from a single supplier. In addition, some of
the components that we purchase from single suppliers are custom-made. Although
we believe that we can replace any single supplier and obtain key components of
comparable quality and price from alternative suppliers, we cannot assure you
that we will not experience disruptions in the delivery and cost of our
products. We do not have long-term supply contracts with most of these
suppliers. In addition, there is global demand for some electrical components
that are used in our systems and that are supplied by relatively few suppliers.
This presents the following risks:


                                       10


          o    delays in delivery or shortages of components, especially for
               custom-made components or components with long delivery lead
               times, could interrupt and delay manufacturing and result in
               cancellations of orders for our products;

          o    suppliers could increase component prices significantly and with
               immediate effect on the manufacturing costs for our products;

          o    we may not be able to develop alternative sources for product
               components;

          o    suppliers could discontinue the manufacture or supply of
               components used in our products. This may require us to modify
               our products, which may cause delays in product shipments,
               increased manufacturing costs and increased product prices;

          o    we may be required to hold more inventory for longer periods of
               time than we otherwise might in order to avoid problems from
               shortages or discontinuance; and

          o    due to the political situation in the Middle East, we may not be
               able to import necessary components.

     In the past, we experienced delays and shortages in the supply of
components on more than one occasion. We may experience such delays in the
future, harming our business and results of operations.

We could be subject to warranty claims and product recalls, which could be very
expensive and harm our financial condition.

     Products like ours sometimes contain undetected errors. These errors can
cause delays in product introductions or require design modifications. In
addition, we are dependent on unaffiliated suppliers for key components
incorporated into our products. Defects in systems in which our products are
deployed, whether resulting from faults in our products or products supplied by
others, from faulty installation or from any other cause, may result in customer
dissatisfaction. We are continually marketing several new products. The risk of
errors in these new products, as in any new product, may be greater than the
risk of errors in established products. The warranties for our products permit
customers to return for repair, within a period ranging from 12 to 36 months of
purchase, any defective products. Any failure of a system in which our products
are deployed (whether or not these products are the cause), any product recall
and any associated negative publicity could result in the loss of, or delay in,
market acceptance of our products and harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Intense competition in the markets for our products may have an adverse affect
on our sales and profitability.

     Many companies compete with us in the wireless broadband equipment market
in which we sell our products. We expect that competition will increase in the
future including from current large as well as new market vendors, both with
respect to products that we currently offer and products that we intend to
introduce in the future. In addition, some, or all, of the systems integrators
and other strategic partners to which we sell our wireless broadband products
could develop the capability to manufacture systems similar to our wireless
broadband products independently. We expect our competitors to continue to
improve independently the performance of their current products and to introduce
new products or new technologies that may supplant or provide lower cost
alternatives to our products or products with better performance. As the market
grows, we expect to face competition from aggressive start-ups in different
markets. We expect that we will also face competition from alternative wireline
and wireless technologies including copper wires, fiber-optic cable, digital
subscriber lines, or DSL, cable modems, satellite and other broadband access
systems.

     Many companies compete with us in the specialized cellular network market,
and we expect that competition will increase in the future, including
competition from new market vendors (such as vendors operating in China)
entering the cellular niche of rural cellular networks, in addition to the trend
of IP based cellular base stations and softswitches as an alternative technology
to this rural cellular niche.

     Some of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater
resources including financial, technological, manufacturing and marketing and
distribution capabilities, and enjoy greater market recognition than we do. We
may not be able to differentiate our products from those of our competitors,
successfully develop or introduce new products that are less costly or offer
better performance than those of our competitors or offer our


                                       11


customers payment or other commercial terms as favorable as those offered by our
competitors. In addition, we may not be able to offer our products as part of
integrated systems or solutions to the same extent as our competitors. A failure
to accomplish one or more of these objectives could materially adversely affect
our sales and profitability, harming our financial condition and results of
operation.

While 2004 showed steady quarterly growth, we have experienced in the past, and
may experience in the future, quarterly and annual fluctuations in our results
of operations. This may cause volatility in the market price of our ordinary
shares.

     We have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant
fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results of operations. Any fluctuations
may cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities
analysts and investors. This would likely affect the market price of our
ordinary shares.

     Our quarterly and annual results of operations may vary significantly in
the future for a variety of reasons, many of which are outside of our control,
including the following:

          o    our success in integrating the interWAVE business;

          o    the uneven pace of spectrum licensing to carriers and service
               providers;

          o    adoption of new standards in our industry;

          o    the size and timing of orders and the timing of large scale
               projects;

          o    customer deferral of orders in anticipation of new products,
               product features or price reductions;

          o    the timing of our product introductions or enhancements or those
               of our competitors or of providers of complementary products;

          o    the purchasing patterns of our customers and end-users, as well
               as the budget cycles of customers for our products;

          o    seasonality, including the relatively low level of general
               business activity at the beginning of each fiscal year and during
               the summer months in Europe and the winter months in South
               America and in the United States;

          o    disruption in, or changes in the quality of, our sources of
               supply;

          o    changes in the mix of products sold by us;

          o    the extensive marketing and organizational efforts that carriers
               are required to make to develop their subscriber base following
               the deployment of the network infrastructure, creating a gap
               between the time carriers purchase base stations for network
               infrastructure deployment and the time they purchase terminal
               stations for connection of subscribers to the network;

          o    mergers or acquisitions, by us, our competitors and exiting and
               potential customers, if any;

          o    fluctuations in the exchange rate of the NIS against the dollar;

          o    adoption of new financial accounting standards; and

          o    general economic conditions, including the changing economic
               conditions in the United States and worldwide.

     Our customers ordinarily require the delivery of products promptly after
their orders are accepted. Our business usually does not have a significant
backlog of accepted orders. Consequently, revenues in any quarter depend on
orders received and accepted in that quarter. The deferral of the placing and
acceptance of any large order from one quarter to another could materially
adversely affect our results of operations for the previous quarter. If revenues
from our business in any quarter remain level or decline in comparison to any
previous quarter, our results of operations could be harmed.

     In addition, our operating expenses may increase significantly. If revenues
in any quarter do not increase correspondingly or if we do not reduce our
expenses in a timely manner in response to lower level or declining


                                       12


revenues, our results of operations for that quarter would be materially
adversely affected. Because of the variations that we have experienced in our
quarterly results of operations, we do not believe quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of our results of operations are necessarily meaningful and you
should not rely on results of operations in any particular quarter as an
indication of future performance.

We depend on key personnel.

     Our future success depends, in part, on the continued service of key
personnel. If one or more of our key technical, sales or management personnel
terminates his or her employment, our business and results of operations could
be harmed. Our employees are employed "at will." This means that our employees
are not obligated to remain employed by us for any specific period.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company.

     As a result of the combination of our substantial holdings of cash, cash
equivalents and securities and the decline in the market price of our ordinary
shares from its historical highs, there is a risk that we could be classified as
a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income
tax purposes. Based upon our market capitalization during 2004 and each year
prior to 2001, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for any such year and,
based upon our valuation of our assets as of the end of each quarter of 2002 and
2003 an independent valuation of our assets as of the end of each quarter of
2001, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for 2001, 2002 or 2003 despite the
relatively low market price of our ordinary shares during some of those years.
We cannot assure you, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts
would agree with our conclusion if they were to consider our situation. There is
no assurance that we will not become a PFIC in 2005 or in subsequent years. If
we were classified as a PFIC, U.S. taxpayers that own our ordinary shares at any
time during a taxable year for which we were a PFIC would be subject to
additional taxes upon certain distributions by us or upon gains recognized after
a sale or disposition of our ordinary shares unless they appropriately elect to
treat us as a "qualified electing fund" under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
This could also adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

Compliance with changing laws and regulations relating to corporate governance
and public disclosure has resulted, and will continue to result, in the
incurrence of additional expenses associated with being a public company.

     New and changing laws and regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, new SEC regulations impose stricter corporate governance requirements and
greater disclosure obligations. They have had the effect of increasing the
complexity and cost of our company's corporate governance compliance, diverting
the time and attention of our management from revenue-generating activities to
compliance activities, and increasing the risk of personal liability for our
board members and executive officers involved in our company's corporate
governance process. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations may
result, in increased general and administrative expenses, and increased
professional fees. In addition, it may become more difficult and expensive for
us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Furthermore, in order to
meet the new corporate governance and disclosure obligations, we have been
taking, and will continue to take, steps to improve our controls and procedures
and related corporate governance policies and procedures to address compliance
issues and correct any deficiencies that we may discover. While we believe that
the procedures and policies that we have in place are effective to address the
New Sarbanes and other regulatory requirements, the expansion of our operations
and the growth of our business may require us to modify and expand our
disclosure controls and procedures and related corporate governance policies. In
addition, these new and changed laws and regulations are subject to varying
interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result,
their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided
by regulatory and governing bodies. If our efforts to comply with new or changed
laws and regulations differ from the conduct intended by regulatory or governing
bodies due to ambiguities or varying interpretations of the law, we could be
subject to regulatory sanctions, our reputation may be harmed and our stock
price may be adversely affected.

The Implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) would negatively affect the Company's
profitability.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has recently adopted an
accounting standard ("SFAS No. 123(R)") that requires the fair value of all
equity-based awards granted to employees be recognized in the statement


                                       13


of operations as compensation expense, beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
The various methods for determining the fair value of stock options are based
on, among other things, the volatility of the underlying stock. Our stock price
has historically been volatile. The adoption of this new accounting regulation
will have a significant impact on our results of operations, as our reported
earnings will decrease significantly. Had we adopted Statement 123(R) in 2002,
2003 and 2004, the impact of that standard have been approximately $7.0 million,
$7.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, as described in the disclosure of
pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2m to our consolidated
financial statements. Our stock price could decline in response to the decline
in our reported earnings.

     Such adoption may also affect the Company's management discretion to
continue to use stock options as an incentive and retention tool, which could,
in turn, hurt the Company's ability to recruit employees and retain existing
employees.

The trading price of our ordinary shares is subject to volatility.

     The trading price of our ordinary shares has experienced significant
volatility in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Since our
initial public offering in March 2000, the sales prices of our ordinary shares
on the Nasdaq National Market have ranged from a high of $53.125 to a low of
$1.55. On June 6, 2005, the last sales price of our ordinary shares on the
Nasdaq National Market was $9.37. We may continue to experience significant
volatility in the future, based on the following factors, among others:

          o    our prospects;

          o    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our sales and results of
               operations;

          o    variations between our actual or anticipated results of
               operations and the published expectations of analysts;

          o    general conditions in the wireless broadband products industry
               and general conditions in the telecommunications equipment
               industry;

          o    announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical
               innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures
               and capital commitments;

          o    introduction of technologies or product enhancements or new
               industry substitute standards that reduce the need for our
               products;

          o    general economic and political conditions, particularly in the
               United States and in South America on our operations and results;
               and

          o    departures of key personnel.

Our proprietary technology is difficult to protect and unauthorized use of it by
third parties may impair our ability to compete effectively.

     Our success and ability to compete will depend, to a large extent, on
maintaining our proprietary rights and the rights that we currently license or
will license in the future from third parties. We rely primarily on a
combination of trademark, trade secret and copyright law and on confidentiality,
non-disclosure and assignment-of-inventions agreements to protect our
proprietary technology. We have obtained several patents and have several patent
applications pending that are associated with our products. We also have several
trademark registrations associated with our name and some of our products.

     These measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from
third-party infringement. Our competitors may independently develop technologies
that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. Third party
patent applications filed earlier may block our patent applications or receive
broader claim coverage. In addition, any patents issued to us, if issued at all,
may not provide us with significant commercial protection. Third parties may
also invalidate, circumvent, challenge or design around our patents or trade
secrets, and our proprietary technology may otherwise become known or similar
technology may be independently developed by competitors. Additionally, our
products may be sold in foreign countries that provide less protection to
intellectual property than that provided under U.S. or Israeli laws. Failure to
successfully protect our intellectual property from infringement may damage our
ability to compete effectively and harm our results of operations.


                                       14


We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights,
which could seriously harm our business.

     Third parties have in the past asserted against us, and may in the future
assert against us, infringement claims or claims that we have violated a patent
or infringed a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to
them. In addition, based on the size and sophistication of our competitors and
the history of rapid technological change in our industry, we anticipate that
several competitors may have intellectual property rights that could relate to
our products. Therefore, we may need to litigate to defend against claims of
infringement or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of
others. Similarly, we may need to litigate to enforce or uphold the validity of
our patent, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Other actions may
involve ownership disputes over our intellectual property or the
misappropriation of our trade secrets or proprietary technology. As a result of
these actions, we may have to seek licenses to a third party's intellectual
property rights, which may not be able to be successfully integrated into our
products. These licenses may not be available to us on reasonable terms or at
all. In addition, if we decide to litigate these claims, the litigation could be
expensive and time consuming and could result in court orders preventing us from
selling our then-current products or from operating our business. Any
infringement claim, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of
significant financial and managerial resources and harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to maintain licenses to use certain technologies, we may not be
able to develop and sell our products.

     We license certain technologies from others for use in connection with some
of our technologies. The loss of these licenses could impair our ability to
develop and market our products. If we are unable to obtain or maintain the
licenses that we need, we may be unable to develop and market our products or
processes, or we may need to obtain substitute technologies of lower quality or
performance characteristics or at greater cost. We cannot assure you that we can
maintain these licenses or obtain additional licenses, if we need them in the
future, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Operating in international markets exposes us to risks which could cause our
sales to decline and our operations to suffer.

     While we are headquartered in Israel, at least 99% of our sales in 2002,
2003 and 2004 were generated elsewhere around the world. Our products are
marketed internationally and we are therefore subject to certain risks
associated with international sales, including, but not limited to:

          o    trade restrictions, tariffs and export license requirements,
               which may restrict our ability to export our products or make
               them less price-competitive;

          o    currency fluctuations;

          o    greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property; and

          o    difficulties in managing overseas subsidiaries and international
               operations.

     We may encounter significant difficulties with the sale of our products in
international markets as a result of one or more of these factors.

There may be health and safety risks relating to wireless products.

     In recent years, there has been publicity regarding the potentially
negative direct and indirect health and safety effects of electromagnetic
emissions from cellular telephones and other wireless equipment sources,
including allegations that these emissions may cause cancer. Our wireless
communications products emit electromagnetic radiation. Health and safety issues
related to our products may arise that could lead to litigation or other actions
against us or to additional regulation of our products. We may be required to
modify our technology and may not be able to do so. We may also be required to
pay damages that may reduce our profitability and adversely affect our financial
condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative
publicity could affect our ability to market these products and, in turn, could
harm our business and results of operations.


                                       15


Terrorist attacks, or the threat of such attacks, may negatively impact the
global economy which may materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operation and may cause our share price to decline.

     The financial, political, economic and other uncertainties following
terrorist attacks throughout the world have led to a worsening of the global
economy. As a result, many of our customers and potential customers have become
much more cautious in setting their capital expenditure budgets, thereby
restricting their telecommunications procurement. Uncertainties related to the
threat of terrorism have had a negative effect on global economy, causing
businesses to continue slowing spending on telecommunications products and
services and further lengthen already long sales cycles. Any escalation of these
threats or similar future events may disrupt our operations or those of our
customers, distributors and suppliers, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

                    Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel

Conducting business in Israel entails special risks.

     We are incorporated under Israeli law and our principal offices and the
majority of our manufacturing and research and development facilities are
located in the State of Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in
Israel directly affect our operations. We could be harmed by any major
hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its trading partners or a significant downturn in the economic or
financial condition of Israel. Due to the volatile security situation in Israel,
our insurance carrier no longer insures our facilities and assets for damage or
loss resulting from terrorist incidents. Additionally, several countries still
restrict business with Israel and with Israeli companies. We could be adversely
affected by the continuation or deterioration of Israel's conflict with the
Palestinians or from restrictive laws or policies directed towards Israel or
Israeli businesses.

We could be adversely affected if the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the
rate of devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the dollar.

     Substantially the majority of our revenues are generated in U.S. dollars. A
significant portion of our expenses, primarily labor and subcontractor expenses,
is incurred in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS. As a result, we are exposed to the
risk that the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of
the NIS in relation to the dollar, that the timing of this devaluation lags
behind inflation in Israel, or the NIS may increase in value relative to the
dollar. If the dollar costs of our operations in Israel increase, our
dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected. In 2004, the
value of the dollar decreased in relation to the NIS by 1.62%, and the inflation
rate in Israel was 1.21%.

We currently benefit from government programs and tax benefits that may be
discontinued or reduced.

     We currently receive grants and tax benefits under Government of Israel
programs. Pursuant to our current arrangement with the Office of the Chief
Scientist, or OCS, the OCS will finance up to 20% of our research and
development expenses by reimbursing us for up to 50% of the approved expenses
related to our generic research and development projects. In addition, we obtain
other grants from the OCS to fund certain other research and development
projects. These programs currently restrict our ability to manufacture
particular products or transfer particular technology outside of Israel. Under
the programs we need to comply with certain conditions. If we fail to comply
with these conditions, the benefits received could be canceled and we could be
required to refund any payments previously received under these programs or pay
additional amounts with respect to the grants received under these programs. The
Government of Israel has reduced the benefits available under these programs in
recent years and these programs may be discontinued or curtailed in the future.
If the Government of Israel discontinues or modifies these programs and tax
benefits, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.

     Recently, an amendment to the R&D Law was approved by Israel's Parliament
which is intended to make the R&D Law more compatible with the global business
environment. Currently, the law permits the Office of the Chief Scientist to
approve the transfer of manufacturing rights outside Israel subject to an
approval of the research committee and in exchange for payment of higher
royalties, for royalties bearing programs.


                                       16


     Following our acquisition of interWAVE and its subsidiaries, the Irish
subsidiary participates in programs sponsored by the Irish Government and the
European Union , operated by the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and
previously by Shannon Development. These programs are designed to promote
research and development and overall regional development. No royalties are
payable on these grants but the IDA may at any time within five years from the
date of payment of the last installment from any particular grant stop payment
of the grants and/or revoke and cancel or reduce the grants under certain
circumstances. If we fail to comply with these conditions in the future, the
grants received could be canceled and we could be required to repay them.

     In addition, we have been granted status of an approved enterprise under
the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 for our production
facilities in Israel. Such status enables us to obtain certain tax relief for a
definitive period upon compliance with the investment law regulations. A recent
amendment to the Investment Law, which we refer to as the Amendment and has been
officially published and effected since April 1, 2005, has significantly changed
the provisions of the Investment 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. Additionally, the
Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded
under the Investment Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center
approval in order to qualify for tax benefits. However, the Amendment 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. If we fail to comply with these conditions in the future, the tax
benefits received could be canceled and we could be required to pay increased
taxes in the future.

     We currently contemplate that a portion of our products will be
manufactured outside of Israel. This could materially reduce the tax benefits to
which we would otherwise be entitled. In addition, because the Israeli tax
authorities customarily review and reassess existing tax benefits granted to
merging companies and because we have yet to finalize the status of our tax
benefits with the Israeli tax authorities following our merger with Floware and
our acquisition of most of the assets and assumption of related liabilities of
InnoWave, we cannot assure you that the Israeli tax authorities will not modify
adversely to us the tax benefits that we could have enjoyed prior to these
events.

     We may be exposed to tax liabilities in the USA and in other local and
international jurisdictions following the acquisition of interWAVE
Communications.

Provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult a merger or an
acquisition of us, which could prevent a change of control and therefore depress
the market price of our ordinary shares.

     Provisions of Israeli corporate and tax law may have the effect of
delaying, preventing or making more difficult a merger or other acquisition of
us. The Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999, referred to as the Israeli Companies
Law, generally requires that a merger be approved by the board of directors and
by a shareholder vote at a shareholders' meeting that has been called on at
least 21 days' advance notice. Any creditor of a merger party may seek a court
order to delay or enjoin the merger, if there is a reasonable concern that the
surviving corporation will not be able to satisfy all of the obligations of any
party to the merger. Moreover, a merger may not be completed until at least 70
days have passed from the time that the merger proposal has been filed with the
Israeli Registrar of Companies. Other potential means of acquiring a public
Israeli company such as us might involve significant obstacles, including a
requirement for court approval for the acquisition. In addition, a body of case
law has not yet developed with respect to the new Companies Law. Until this
happens, uncertainties will exist regarding its interpretation. These
uncertainties could have the effect of inhibiting attempts to acquire us and
other transactions and decisions by or involving us.

It may be difficult to effect service of process and enforce judgments against
directors, officers and experts in Israel.

     We are incorporated in Israel. Our executive officers and directors and
some of the experts named in this annual report are expected to be nonresidents
of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of
these persons may be located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be
difficult to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us or any
of those persons. It may also be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under
U.S. federal securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel.

     B.   BUSINESS OVERVIEW

General

     We are a leading provider of wireless broadband connectivity solutions and
specialized cellular networks. Our solutions are used by telecom carriers and
service providers worldwide and for private networks. Our products are used to
provide broadband data and voice services for subscribers in the "last mile" of
connectivity, for feeding cellular networks, cellular network extensions and
compact specialty networks. With our comprehensive product offerings, we provide
a broad range of integrated wireless broadband solutions, addressing different
markets and frequency bands, designed to address the various business models of
carriers, service providers and private network operators.

     We have played a prominent role in creating and promoting industry
standards, including our leading role in the WiMAX Forum(TM), an organization
focused on increasing the widespread adoption of standards-based products in the
wireless broadband market and leading the industry to mobile WiMAX solutions.
The WiMAX Forum works to promote the interoperability of multiple vendors'
products in the wireless broadband market. Since its establishment, the WiMAX
Forum members, working together with the IEEE, have established the first of the
standards on which fixed wireless broadband systems will operate (the IEEE
802.16-2004 standard). This standard fully supports all fixed and nomadic
broadband wireless applications.

     Our products are usually used in a point-to-multipoint architecture and
address a wide scope of end-user profiles, from the residential and small
office, home office, or SOHO, markets, through small and medium enterprises, or
SMEs, and multi-tenant units/multi-dwelling units, or MTU/MDU's. Our compact
specialty cellular networks serve a variety of end-users and applications
including residential cellular users, governmental, homeland security, and
disaster relief agencies, as well as travel/leisure companies.

     Our products operate in licensed and license-free bands, ranging from 450
MHz to 28 GHz and comply with various industry standards. Our core technologies
include spread spectrum radio, linear radio, digital signal processing, modems,
MAC (media access control), IP-based mobile switches, compact mobile networks,
networking protocols and very large systems integration, or VLSI. We have
intellectual property in these technologies.

     Our transaction with interWAVE, a provider of compact mobile network
equipment and services, complements our existing product set and expands our
served market to include a rapidly growing segment of the mobile


                                       18


equipment market. interWAVE's technical expertise in cellular systems design and
experience in providing complete mobile networks will accelerate the development
of our next generation offering.

     We are currently placing an increased emphasis on the development of the
next-generation technology based on the IEEE 802.16e standard, for the
development of broadband mobility solutions. We intend to leverage our expertise
and our position in the fixed wireless broadband market and the cellular
know-how acquired by the interWAVE acquisition, in order to introduce broadband
mobile standards-compliant solutions to the market.

Wireless Access Overview

     Growth of the wireless broadband market is currently driven by demand for
broadband connectivity. We expect that this growth will be affected by:

          o    Demand for fundamental data and voice telecom services in
               un-served areas where wired infrastructure cannot fill the
               demand;

          o    Demand for cellular voice and data services;

          o    Demand for mobile communications;

          o    Deregulation: international regulatory changes enabling increased
               competition and resulting in increased allocation of spectrum;

          o    Competition to offer multiple services using a single network;

          o    Standardization: wide adoption of wireless broadband standards as
               key access technology for infrastructure;

          o    Introduction of low cost wireless technology based on
               international standards; and

          o    Growing demand of public access providers to build
               municipalities' own infrastructures.

Demand for Connectivity

     Demand for Broadband in Unserved Areas

     Demand for user bandwidth and availability of competitively priced
solutions has increased. DSL and cable modem rollout continues in many areas
throughout the world and telecom operators are upgrading central offices and
deploying broadband solutions. However, in areas where DSL and cable modems
cannot fulfill the demand for broadband, the wireless broadband solution is an
effective alternative to meet this demand. In developed countries, government
programs for complete broadband coverage increase the demand in rural and
suburban areas. In developing countries, government programs for fundamental
telephony services increase demand in urban areas, where infrastructure is poor
or does not exist.

     Demand for Cellular Voice and Data Services

     Cellular mobile networks deliver both voice and limited broadband data
connectivity, enabling operators to provide competitive solutions, with limited
data rates at low cost. In developed countries, cellular end-users are
accustomed to 100% coverage, and expect the same even in areas that require
specialized networks (e.g., cruise ships). In developing countries, the demand
is driven by the extensive need for cellular network extensions to areas which
are not connected to a backbone via any type of wireline connection.

     Demand for Personal Broadband Mobility

     The demand for mobile communications is the natural convergence of fixed
broadband networks (DSL and cable) and mobile voice networks towards mobile
broadband. Technology and networks are evolving to networks that support mobile
broadband communications. The introduction of WiMAX-compliant products, based on
the IEEE 802.16e standard will create additional opportunities in mobile
broadband communications. Future mobile networks will be IP based, with a focus
on open standards, end-users and consumer devices, as opposed to the current
focus on closed standards, carriers and network equipment.


                                       19


Deregulation

     Global telecom deregulation is opening up the telecommunications/Internet
access industries to competition by new players. As more and more countries
enable carriers and service providers to operate in a variety of frequencies,
new broadband access markets are opening. Unlike the built-in delivery systems
of wireline infrastructure, wireless technology requires the use of frequencies
contained within a given spectrum to transfer voice and data. Usually,
governments allocate a specific range of that spectrum, either licensed or
unlicensed bands, to incumbent and competitive carriers, as well as to cellular
operators, internet service providers, or ISPs, and other service providers,
enabling them to launch a variety of broadband initiatives based exclusively on
wireless networking solutions. During 2004, additional licensed and unlicensed
spectrums were added in many regions around the world. Increased availability of
licensed and unlicensed spectrums may increase the demand for wireless
broadband.

Standardization

     The wireless broadband market is in a continuing process of
standardization. The WiFi Alliance, a non-profit international association, has
succeeded in promoting the IEEE 802.11 -- the Wireless LAN standard. Similarly,
we helped produce the IEEE 802.16 2004 specification for fixed applications, led
its harmonization with ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute),
and became a principal founder of the WiMAX Forum. WiMAX stands for the
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, Inc. and the WiMAX Forum is a
group promoting the IEEE 802.16 wireless broadband standard).

     The WiMAX Forum is a non-profit industry organization chartered to ensure
interoperable IEEE 802.16 systems from multiple vendors. We are also helping to
develop the IEEE 802.16e specification for mobile applications. The scope of the
IEEE 802.16-based standard is the Wireless MAN (Metropolitan Area Network),
supporting larger range outdoor access networks with more performance and
dedicated high-end services.

     For cellular technology, our products are based on standard GSM and CDMA
technologies. The most prevalent emerging third generation, or 3G, standards of
wireless communications are forms of CDMA and the Universal Mobile Telephony
Services, or UMTS, which is built upon a GSM base. We believe that many carriers
may deploy GSM prior to deploying 3G because some elements of GSM are utilized
in this form of 3G.

     Once standards are accepted, product costs generally decrease and product
interoperability is possible, factors aiding in market growth.

Next Generation Technology

     Fixed wireless broadband solutions are based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing) technology with Non-Line-of-Sight, or NLOS, capabilities,
creating more possibilities to cover a Wireless Access network. In addition, the
availability of lower-cost, volume-produced standard chips to replace
internally-produced proprietary chips will enable vendors to lower the cost of
the solution to operators. Low cost solutions can create a larger demand for
wireless broadband applications. In July 2003, Intel Corporation announced its
intention to develop IEEE 802.16d-compliant silicon chip. At the same time, we
signed a strategic agreement with Intel to work together to incorporate Intel's
IEEE 802.16 chips into our line of standard-based technology. The cost of our
system is expected to decrease significantly as a result of our cooperation with
Intel and the availability of standard chip sets, expected in mid 2005.

     CDMA 2000-1x technology enables last mile wireless telephony and always-on
data access over wide coverage for residential users who are fixed or mobile.
CDMA 2000's design minimizes the initial network cost for servicing the last
mile. Using CDMA 2000 operators can profitably address the challenge of
servicing the low ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) markets; leveraging the low
price CDMA 2000-1x CPEs (Customer Premise Equipment) and economic benefits. CDMA
2000 is a Point-to-multipoint solution, which offers operators a cost efficient
alternative to traditional wireless local loop technologies. Carriers will be
able to provide voice and always-on data services for both fixed and limited
mobility connections. CDMA 2000 1xRTT offers always-on 153 Kbps peak with and
upgrade path to 1xEVDO which offers 2.4Mbps user peak rate. CDMA 2000 operates
in the 450MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100 MHz frequencies.

     We are currently working on an IEEE 802.16e compliant solution which will
provide WiMAX broadband mobility, and plan to introduce this to the market in
2006. IEEE 802.16e compliant technology enables mobile


                                       20


networks to be IP based, with a focus on open standards, end-users and consumer
devices. The demand for this technology is a result of the convergence of fixed
broadband networks and mobile voice networks towards mobile broadband
communications.

Our Target Customers

     Our existing and target customers are principally comprised of network
operators. Deregulation in the global telecommunications industry has increased
the number of carriers providing data and voice access to the global
telecommunications network. Following is a more detailed description of our
target markets.

     Telecom Carriers

     Incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) and competitive local exchange
carriers (CLECs) seek to compete effectively in various markets, resulting in
wireless broadband emerging as an attractive last-mile alternative to wired
access solutions. Telecom carriers are deploying our products to provide voice
and broadband services in rural and suburban areas where wireline infrastructure
does not exist or does not support the demand. Unlike the limited reach of
landline infrastructure, wireless broadband systems offer carriers the ability
to reach otherwise inaccessible customers, while providing increased bandwidth
flexibility and service differentiation.

     Wireless broadband technology offers opportunity and growth potential to
carriers targeting emerging market sectors, such as SOHO, SME, and many parts of
the residential market because of its bandwidth, low capital and operating costs
and the ability to use the technology to deliver sophisticated data and voice
services. The modular architecture of our wireless broadband products enables
carriers to deploy our products gradually as customer demand grows, limiting the
initial capital expenditure in equipment and enabling rapid roll out. With high
network capacity and coverage, classes of service options, carrier-class
equipment and network management software, our wireless broadband products
provide attractive solutions for carriers seeking to compete in a deregulated
market environment.

     Cellular Operators

     Cellular operators are able to leverage their infrastructure, radio
base-station sites and customer base, together with their marketing, billing
systems and customer support investments, to offer competitive broadband
Internet access services to their customer base or to attract new customers for
broadband who can eventually become cellular customers.

     In the past, wireless networks have been deployed primarily in urban
centers and other heavy usage areas. Increasing demand for improved service over
wider geographic areas has prompted cellular service providers to accelerate the
expansion of their networks. In addition, cellular service providers are
deploying networks in locations where service has previously been inadequate or
prohibitively expensive to provide. Alvarion's cellular solutions provide a very
cost effective extension of coverage. Alvarion offers various remote-cell
packages with local switching capabilities, which reduces both operating and
capital expenditures. These packages can serve as an extension to a larger
infrastructure deployed in an urban location so that operators maintain all
network service and management transparency.

     Service Providers and Regional Carriers

     In today's competitive telecommunications markets, Internet service
providers and regional carriers seek to offer their customers comprehensive
solution packages as the demand increases for service providers and regional
carriers to deliver enhanced data and voice services with fast and reliable
connectivity.

     Leveraging the potential of these customers requires the delivery of
dependable last mile broadband connectivity, which, in turn, requires deployment
of the necessary infrastructure. Many SME, SOHO and residential customers are
located on the periphery of urban centers, beyond the reach of fiber-optic
systems, cable modems or other landline connections. Even when these connections
are available, bottlenecks between the operator's final point-of-presence and
the customer often lead to inconsistent service and unpredictable network
performance.

     The reduced installation costs, rapid roll-out potential and modular
architecture of our wireless broadband solutions, coupled with their high
network capacity and coverage and enhanced service options, present an
attractive


                                       21


alternative to service providers and regional carriers seeking to supply their
customers with reliable comprehensive data and voice solutions.

     Private Network Operators

     Private and government sectors that operate private, closed loop networks,
are in constant need of deploying COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) technologies
to support their operational requirements. Examples of such requirements are
enterprises that require leased line replacement for cost effective connectivity
to provide VoIP and data services; metropolitan area networks for broadband
connectivity; and cost-effective access within communities, municipalities and
educational institutions.

     The low cost installation, low entry level (pay-as-you-grow) and rapid roll
out of our wireless broadband solutions enables private network operators to
take advantage of the improved economics with future ready capacity and
features.

Geographic Markets

     Alvarion installations include two types of applications for different
geographic markets:

Developed countries  -- In countries with high levels of economic development
                        there are developing regions with low density population
                        areas that have limited telecommunications
                        infrastructures and do not yet have high penetration for
                        access technologies for broadband services, such as
                        cable and DSL, or complementary to cables and DSL where
                        they do not have full coverage. In addition in developed
                        countries we provide cellular applications for
                        specialized networks.

Developing countries -- Countries lacking coverage of telecommunications
                        infrastructures seeking mass deployment of technologies
                        for voice and broadband services.

     Our strategy is to provide a generic, integrated system solution, enabling
our products to be used by a diverse group of end users in a wide variety of
applications in each of these geographic markets. Our products are used
primarily by telecom carriers, by service providers, by regional carriers and by
cellular operators. Telecom carriers and service providers using our products

Our Solutions

     Our product offerings include several different types of wireless
applications: fixed access; compact cellular networks and network extensions;
specialized networks; bridging and backhauling; and broadband mobility.

     Fixed Access

     We offer applications in which access to the end-user is provided by
wireless broadband systems. These access applications can be utilized by telecom
operators, service providers and regional carriers based on the needs of their
regions of operation. The applications are either broadband data, voice,
telecommunication multiservices, bridging or backhauling.

     Wireless broadband solutions are implemented in a modular infrastructure,
enabling swift, cost-effective roll-out as needed. Sectorized base stations are
deployed to provide radio coverage to the targeted area, and frequency channels
are reused in non-adjacent base station sectors, making the most efficient use
of the available spectrum. Base stations are connected to the operator's central
office, or Point of Presence, using wired or wireless point-to-point solutions.
End users are provided with customer premises equipment, or CPE, typically
consisting of an outdoor unit with a radio and an antenna connected to an indoor
unit or indoor self-installed unit, which present voice and data interfaces to
the customer network. The entire wireless broadband network is connected to the
carrier backbone.

     Our BreezeMAX, BreezeACCESS, BreezeNet, MGW/eMGW and WALKair wireless
broadband products provide carriers with comprehensive wireless broadband
solutions ranging from toll-quality telephony, to high-speed access to voice and
data in the licensed and license-free bands. Our solutions provide these
operators with services that are comparable to leased line and fiber
connectivity, with heightened bandwidth flexibility and service differentiation.
Our wireless broadband products offer carriers comprehensive, scalable and
rapidly deployable solutions to their last mile connectivity needs independent
of landline infrastructure, and enable cost effective IP-based bridging and
backhauling.

     Compact Cellular Network Infrastructure

     We offer a complete line of compact cellular solutions. We have pioneered
what we believe is the only commercially available system that provides all of
the infrastructure equipment and software necessary to support an entire
wireless network within a single, compact enclosure. Our networks may be
deployed in communities with a few thousand subscribers and may be scaled to
grow to over a hundred thousand subscribers.


                                       23


     Our cellular solutions are targeted primarily for emerging markets in
developing or under-developed countries, and our products provide wireless
network operators a simple, easy to support and maintain network that is
software configurable to various network architectures. We have designed our
systems to serve the following applications:

          o    Small to mid size stand-alone cellular networks: e.g., islands,
               remote communities

          o    Rural extensions to already established cellular infrastructure:
               e.g., to add capacity and coverage in remote or rural areas and
               to provide telephone service in previously under-served
               communities

          o    Specialty cellular configurations: e.g., disaster relief,
               emergency, military/tactical, containerized platforms, as well as
               applications on cruise ships, or network on wheels for rapid
               deployments

          o    WLL (Wireless Local Loop) connecting subscribers to the PSTN
               switch using radio signals as a substitute for copper

Our solutions are targeted to telecom carriers, offering cellular services and
wireless service providers looking to better serve their existing user base and
to gain market share, with the objective of extending capacity, coverage, and
providing better quality of service

system-on-a-chip ASIC will serve as a key component of our BreezeACCESS-OFDM
products. Additional ASIC developed in-house supports our WALKair products, with
a full duplex point-to-multipoint single carrier trellis-coded 64QAM modem. The
PSTN FWA MGW system was extended to provide additional data services to wireless
subscribers. The eMGW system was especially designed to support the modern
wholesale network model for carriers. PPPoE, remote and local DHCP network tools
give to the network access provider ability for fast and inexpensive IP network
configuration and interfacing to the billing systems.

     The FWA eMGW system was designed to provide data services to wireless
subscribers on top of voice services. The subscriber unit is based on our ASIC
implementing functions of the PHY and MAC layers of the air interface. The eMGW
base station design includes Voice echo canceling and Fax/modem detection
algorithm to support high spectrum efficiency while ensuring toll quality voice.

assurance at our own facilities and at our subcontractors' facilities. Equipment
owned by us and used for final assembly and testing is located at our facilities
in Omer and in our leased premises at the facilities of some of our
subcontractors in Israel as part of our Approved Enterprise programs.

     We monitor quality with respect to each stage of the production process,
including the selection of components and subassembly suppliers, warehouse
procedures, assembly of goods, final testing and packaging and shipping. Our
packaging and shipping activities are conducted primarily at our Tel Aviv, Omer
and Mountain View facilities.

     All our manufacturing locations in Israel are ISO 9001 certified, which
verifies that our manufacturing processes adhere to established standards. We
require that our Israel based contract manufacturers be ISO 9002 certified. Our
US manufacturing location and contract manufacturers are undergoing ISO 9002
certification, and we expect this during the course of 2005. Our Tel Aviv and
Omer locations are ISO 14000 certified.

Proprietary Rights

     In order to protect our proprietary rights in our products and
technologies, we rely primarily upon a combination of patents trademark, trade
secret, and copyright law as well as confidentiality, non-disclosure and
assignment of inventions agreements. We have over 82 patents issued by patent
offices in several countries, with additional 59 patents pending. We have
trademark registrations in Israel, United States, the European Union and many
other countries. In addition, we have typically entered into nondisclosure,
confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements with our employees,
consultants and with some of our suppliers and customers who have access to
sensitive information. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us to
protect our proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of
our technology or independent development and/or the sale by others of products
with features based upon, or otherwise similar to, those of our products.

     Given the rapid pace of technological development in the communications
industry, we also cannot assure you that our products do not or will not
infringe on existing or future proprietary rights of others. Although we believe
that our technology has been independently developed and that none of our
intellectual property infringes on the rights of others, we cannot assure you
that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us or seek an
injunction on the sale of any of our products in the future. If an infringement
were found to exist, we may attempt to acquire the requisite licenses or rights
to use such technology or intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you
that such licenses or rights could be obtained on terms that would not have a
material adverse effect on us, if at all.

     We license certain technologies from others for use in connection with some
of our technologies. The loss of these licenses could impair our ability to
develop and market our products. If we are unable to obtain or maintain


                                       32


the licenses that we need, we may be unable to develop and market our products
or processes, or we may need to obtain substitute technologies of lower quality
or performance characteristics or at greater cost.

The Competitive Environment in which We Operate

     The markets for our products are very competitive and we expect that
competition will increase in the future, both with respect to products that we
are currently offering, and with respect to products that we are developing. The
principal competitive factors in these markets include:

          o    price and price/performance ratio;

          o    technology;

          o    regulation and product certifications;

          o    ability to support new industry standards;

          o    product time to market, and

          o    brand strength and sales channels.

     Companies that are engaged in the manufacture and sale, or the development,
of products that compete with our wireless broadband products include Marconi
plc, SR Telecom, Wi-Lan Inc., Airspan Inc., Proxim, Inc., Motorola, Aperto
Networks, Navini, IP Wireless, Vyyo, Harris, ZTE, Nexnet, Wave rider, Axxcelera,
Cambridge, Redline, Trango, Arraycom and Flarion. Other vendor members of the
WiMAX Forum may become our competitors. Our products also compete with
alternative telecommunications transmission media, including leased lines,
copper wire, fiber-optic cable, cable modems, television modems and satellite.
Companies that are engaged in the manufacture and sale, or the development, of
products that can compete with our compact cellular network products are GSM
communications equipment providers such as Ericson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia,
Siemens, ZTE and Huawei. We also compete with the TDMA and CDMA product
offerings from the same communications equipment providers and expect that a
number of them will develop competing data communications products and
technologies in the near future. We also compete with CDMA product offerings of
Ericsson, Motorola, ZTE, Huawei, UT-Starcom, Samsung and LG Electronics. In the
past, the products of the leading GSM equipment communications providers were
capable of handling large subscriber bases. Equipment providers are beginning
however to focus on equipment similar to our products that address smaller
subscriber bases and distributed architecture based on IP Base Stations (GSM or
CDMA). Each of the major GSM communications equipment providers has at least a
partial GSM solution that addresses this target market.

     Increased competition in our market is likely to result in price
reductions, shorter product life cycles, reduced gross margins, longer sales
cycles and loss of market shares, of which could harm the results of our
operations. We have designed and engineered our products to minimize costs,
maximize margins and improve competitiveness. However we cannot assure you that
we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors.

Government Regulation

     Our business is premised on the availability of certain radio frequencies
for two-way broadband communications. Radio frequencies are subject to extensive
regulation under the laws of each country and international treaties. Each
country has different regulation and regulatory processes for wireless
communications equipment and uses of radio frequencies. In the United States,
our products are subject to FCC rules and regulations. In other countries, our
products are subject to national or regional radio authority rules and
regulations. Current FCC regulations permit license-free operation in
FCC-certified bands in the radio spectrum in the United States. In other
countries the situation varies as to the spectrum, if any, that may be used
without a license and as to the permitted purposes of such use. Some of our
products operate in license-free bands, while others operate in licensed bands.
The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to significant change,
the results and timing of which are uncertain.

     In many countries, the unavailability of radio frequencies for two-way
broadband communications has inhibited the growth of these networks. The process
of establishing new regulations for Wireless Broadband frequencies and
allocating these frequencies to operators is complex and lengthy. The regulation
of frequency


                                       33


licensing began during 1999 in many countries in Europe and South America and
continues in many countries in these and other regions. Licensed blocks in
3.5GHz were released in some countries. However, this frequency licensing
regulation process may suffer from delays that may postpone commercial
deployment of products that operate in licensed bands in any country that
experiences this delay. Our current customers that commercially deploy our
licensed band products have already been granted appropriate frequency licenses
for their network operation. In some cases, the continued validity of these
licenses may be conditional on the licensee complying with various conditions.

     There is a trend to release more license-exempt bands. For example, in the
United States, FCC rules were modified to include an additional 255MHz of
spectrum, though actual use of this allocation is not permitted until a
technical issue is resolved between the NTIA (which manages government-used
spectrum) and the FCC (which manages commercial and public spectrum). Also, in
the U.S. a Report and Order by the FCC was released in March to allow unlicensed
devices, on a registration basis and with some limitations, to operate in 50MHz
from 3650MHz-3700MHz. Alvarion is currently studying the rules and examining the
market opportunity that may exist with the new allocation. Also, the FCC
evaluating possible unlicensed allocations in the sub-1GHz "TV bands," which are
being vacated as broadcasters transition from analogue to digital.

     In Europe, the process is slower. We see potential for new markets in rural
areas and developing countries, created by the availability of licensed-exempt
spectrum in 5MHz.

     In addition to regulation of available frequencies, our products must
conform to a variety of national and international regulations that require
compliance with administrative and technical requirements as a condition to
marketing devices that emit radio frequency energy. These requirements were
established, among other things, to avoid interference among users of radio
frequencies and to permit the interconnection of equipment.

     We are subject to export control laws and regulations with respect to all
of our products and technology. In addition, Israeli law requires us to obtain a
government license to engage in research and development, and export, of the
encryption technology incorporated in some of our products. We currently have
the required licenses to utilize the encryption technology in our products.

also lease approximately 34,500 square feet of office facilities in Mountain
View California, at an annual rent of approximately $0.4 million. These premises
serve as the corporate headquarters of our U.S. subsidiary, Alvarion Inc, and as
our principal sales and marketing office in North America. In addition, we lease
office space for the operation of our facilities in Miami, Florida, San Diego,
California, U.K., France, Germany, Romania, China, Hong Kong, Uruguay, Japan,
Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Ireland and Poland.

     We believe that the facilities we currently lease are adequate for our
current requirements

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

     The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements
and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not
limited to, those set forth in "Item 3 -- Key Information -- Risk Factors."

     A.   OPERATING RESULTS

Overview

     We are a leading provider of wireless broadband connectivity solutions and
specialized cellular networks. Our solutions are used by telecom carriers and
service providers worldwide and for private networks. Our products are used to
provide broadband data and voice services, for subscribers in the "last mile" of
connectivity, for feeding cellular networks, cellular network extensions and
compact specialty networks. With our comprehensive product offerings, we provide
a broad range of integrated wireless broadband solutions, addressing different
markets and frequency bands, designed to address the various business models of
carriers, service providers and private network operators.

     We have played a prominent role in creating and promoting industry
standards, including our leading role in the WiMAX Forum(TM), an organization
focused on increasing the widespread adoption of standards-based products in the
wireless broadband market and leading the industry to mobile WiMAX solutions.
The WiMAX Forum works to promote the interoperability of multiple vendors'
products in the wireless broadband market. Since its


                                       35


establishment, the WiMAX Forum members, working together with the IEEE, have
established the first of the standards on which fixed wireless broadband systems
will operate (the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard). This standard fully supports all
fixed and nomadic broadband wireless applications.

     Our products are usually used in a point-to-multipoint architecture and
address a wide scope of end-user profiles, from the residential and small
office, home office, or SOHO, markets, through small and medium enterprises, or
SMEs, and multi-tenant units/multi-dwelling units. Our compact specialty
cellular networks serve a variety of end-users and applications including
residential cellular users, governmental, homeland security, disaster relief
agencies, as well as travel/leisure companies.

     Our products operate in licensed and license-free bands, ranging from 450
MHz to 28 GHz and comply with various industry standards. Our core technologies
include spread spectrum radio, linear radio, digital signal processing, modems,
MAC, IP-based mobile switches, compact mobile networks, networking protocols and
very large systems integration, or VLSI. We have intellectual property in these
technologies.

     On December 9, 2004, we acquired through merger interWAVE, a provider of
compact mobile network equipment and services, which complements our existing
product set and expands our served market to include a rapidly growing segment
of the mobile equipment market. interWAVE's technical expertise in cellular
systems design and experience in providing complete mobile networks will
accelerate the development of our next generation offering.

     On August 1, 2001 we acquired Floware Wireless Communication Ltd. Upon the
closing of the acquisition, we changed our name from BreezeCOM Ltd. to Alvarion
Ltd. We have consolidated the results of Floware's business in our financial
statements from August 1, 2001. On April 1, 2003 we acquired certain assets and
assumed liabilities of InnoWave Ltd. We have consolidated the results of
InnoWave's business in our financial statements from April 1, 2003. On December
9, 2004 we acquired interWAVE Communications Ltd. We have consolidated the
results of operations of interWAVE's business in our financial statements from
December 9, 2004.

     Our results for 2004 reflect the increased demand for broadband access
around the world, resulting in growth in our sales and net profit.

2004 Highlights

     The following describes major developments to our business in 2004:

          o    interWAVE Acquisition -- On December 9, 2004 we acquired
               interWAVE for a purchase price of approximately $47.7 million, as
               well as fair value of approximately $1.7 million related to
               320,826 options granted to interWAVE's employees in exchange for
               their previously held vested options, and $1.4 million
               acquisition related costs. The acquisition of interWAVE provides
               a complementary voice and data solution for both fixed and mobile
               operators in developing regions of the world, enlarges and
               strengthens our diversified customer base and sales channels, and
               increases our technical expertise in design and deployment of
               mobile systems.

          o    Expanded our relationships with OEM partners -- We announced two
               OEM agreements, one with Lucent and one with Alcatel. The OEM
               agreement with Lucent covers our WiMAX-ready IEEE 802.16 fixed
               solution and may be extended to include future IEEE 802.16e
               mobile WiMAX products. Our OEM agreement with Alcatel is an
               extension of an existing OEM relationship with them and helps us
               to address DSL extension opportunities with their extensive
               customer base. We also expanded our existing OEM relationships
               with Siemens to include our BreezeMAX product.

          o    WiMAX -- During 2004, we deployed the first WiMAX-ready networks
               in Latin America, Eastern and Western Europe. We experienced
               interest from incumbent and alternative carriers, both fixed and
               mobile operators. At the end of 2004, we had several deployments
               and different opportunities in various stages of trial activity
               all over the world. By the end of 2004, the WiMAX Forum,
               announced that the certification lab has been chosen and that the
               certification program is expected to be launched in July 2005.

          o    Agreement with Intel -- In 2003, we signed a strategic agreement
               with Intel Corporation to work together to incorporate Intel's
               IEEE 802.16a chips into our line of WiMAX standard-based
               technology. During


                                       36


               2004, we received sample chips from Intel and are on track for
               delivery of Intel-based CPEs by mid-2005, which will enable us to
               pursue WiMAX conformance and interoperability certification.

          o    Large customer -- During 2004, one of our customers, a large
               operator in Latin America, accounted for about 30% of our annual
               revenues. This customer accounted for about 14% of our annual
               revenues in 2003. The Latin American operator has made the eMGW
               product a basis for its 3.5 GHz wireless access network, to
               provide high-speed Internet, and voice services to its rural and
               suburban regions. If revenues from this customer decline, or we
               lose this customer, we may not be successful in replacing it on a
               timely basis, or at all, and our revenues would be adversely
               affected.

Critical Accounting Principles

     Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, and audited in accordance with
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
discussion of the significant accounting policies which we follow in preparing
our financial statements is set forth in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements included in Part III of this annual report. In preparing our
financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions as to certain
matters, including, for example, the amount of new materials and components that
we will require to satisfy the demand for our products based on our sales
estimates and the period of time that will elapse before our products become
obsolete. While we endeavor diligently to assure that our estimates and
assumptions have a reasonable basis and reflect our best assessment as to the
future circumstances which they anticipate, actual results may differ from the
results estimated or assumed and the differences may be substantial as to
require subsequent write-offs, write-downs or other adjustments to past results
or current valuations.

     The following is a summary of certain critical principles, which have a
substantial impact upon our financial statements and which we believe are most
important to keep in mind in assessing our financial condition and operating
results:

     Revenue Recognition. We generate revenues from selling our products
indirectly through distributors and OEMs as well as directly to end-users.

     Revenues are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
104 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables", when the following
criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, no further
obligation exists and collection is reasonably assured.

     We generally do not grant a right of return. However, we have granted to
certain distributors limited rights of return on unsold products. Product
revenues on shipments to these distributors are deferred until the distributors
resell our products to their customers, provided that all other revenue
recognition criteria are met.

     In cases in which we are obligated to perform post delivery installation
services, revenues are recognized upon completion of the installation.

     In transactions, where a customer's contractual terms include a provision
for customer acceptance, revenues are recognized either when such acceptance has
been obtained or the acceptance provision has lapsed.

     Accounts Receivable. We are required to assess the collectability of our
accounts receivable balances. Generally we do not require collaterals, however
under certain circumstances we require letters of credit, other collateral,
additional guarantees or advance payments. A considerable amount of judgment is
required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables including,
but not limited to, the current credit-worthiness of each customer. For certain
accounts receivable balances, we are also covered by foreign trade risk
insurance. To date, we have not experienced material losses on the ongoing
credit evaluations of our customers. Should we consider it necessary to increase
the level of provision for doubtful accounts, required for a particular
customer, then additional charges will be recorded in the future.

     Inventory Valuation. Our policy for valuation of inventory and commitments
to purchase inventory, including the determination of obsolete or excess
inventory, requires us to perform a detailed assessment of inventory at each


                                       37


balance sheet date which includes a review of, among other factors, an estimate
of future demand for products within specific time frames, valuation of existing
inventory, as well as product lifecycle and product development plans. The
business environment in which we operate, the wide range of products that we
offer and the relatively short sales-cycles we experience all contribute to the
exercise of judgment relating to maintaining, utilizing and writing-off
inventory. The estimates of future demand that we use in the valuation of
inventory are the basis for our revenue forecast, which is also consistent with
our short-term manufacturing plan. Inventory reserves are also provided to cover
risks arising from non-moving items. We write down our inventory for estimated
obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost
of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future
demand and market conditions. We may be required to record additional inventory
write-downs if actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by our management. Note 2g to our financial statements describes the write-offs
and provisions which we made and recorded in 2004, 2003 and 2002 to reflect the
decline from our expectations in the value of inventory which had become
excessive, unmarketable or otherwise obsolete or the inventory of new materials
and components which we had purchased or committed to purchase in anticipation
of forecasted sales which we did not consummate. In addition, changes in demand,
which result in increased demand for our products may lead to utilization of our
previously written-off products. Note 2g to our financial statements describes
the effect of the utilization of the related products of our prior years'
written-off components, which are reflected in our revenues without additional
cost in the cost of sales in the period the inventory was utilized. If there
were to be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products, or if
there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly
changing technology and customer requirements, we could be required to increase
our inventory allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected. In
addition, if the demand for our products increases beyond our expectations
following a write-off of inventory, we may need to further utilize our
previously written-down inventory. Such utilization may contribute to our gross
margin in future periods. Inventory management remains an area of management
focus as we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure
competitive lead times against the risk of inventory obsolescence because of
rapidly changing technology and customer requirements.

     Intangible assets. As a result of the acquisition of interWAVE in 2004 and
the acquisition of InnoWave in 2003, our balance sheet as of December 31, 2004
and 2003 includes acquired intangible assets, such as goodwill, current
technology, customer relations and tradenames, which totaled approximately
$100.5 million and $50.4 million, as of these dates respectively. In the course
of the analysis and valuation of intangible assets, we use financial and other
information, including financial projections and valuations provided by third
parties. Although we evaluate our intangible assets annually or when there is an
indication of an impairment, our projections following an acquisition are based
on the information available at the respective acquisition dates, and may differ
from actual results.

     Goodwill. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible assets", ("SFAS No.142"), goodwill
acquired in a business combination that closes on or after July 1, 2001 is
deemed to have indefinite life and will not be amortized. SFAS 142 requires
goodwill to be tested for impairment on adoption and at least annually
thereafter or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down
when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards
required. As of December 31, 2004 we had total goodwill of $85.3 million on our
balance sheet. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of
the reporting unit with its carrying value. In accordance with the guidelines of
FAS141, during 2004, we carried forward the determination of fair value of 2003.
The fair value was determined based on our management's future operations
projections, using discounted cash flows and market approach and market
multiples valuation methods. No indication of impairment was identified. In
assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangible assets, we
must make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other
factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates
or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record
impairment charges for these assets.

     In-process research and development write-off. At the time of our
acquisition of interWAVE, interWAVE was in the process of developing new
technologies that we valued at $11.0 million. The technologies under development
were CDMA and a part of the GSM technology. As of the date of the acquisition,
none of these technologies had demonstrated their technological or commercial
feasibility. Significant risk existed because we were unsure of the obstacles we
would encounter in the form of time and cost necessary to produce
technologically feasible products. Were these proposed products to fail to
become viable, it was unlikely that we would be able to realize any value
from the sale of the technology to another party.

     As the in-process technologies had no alternative since the proposed
products did not prove to be feasible, these development efforts are within the
definition of In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D) contained in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 2. Accordingly, this amount was
expensed in the consolidated statement of operations, upon consummation of the
acquisition.

                                       38



     We used an income approach in valuing the acquired IPR&D. Under this
approach, the fair value reflects the present value of the projected free cash
flows that will be generated by the IPR&D projects and that is attributable to
the acquired technology, if successfully completed. The projected revenues used
in the income approach were based upon our estimate of the revenues to be
generated upon completion of the projects and the beginning of commercial sales.
The projections assumed that the products would be successful and that the
product's development and commercialization would meet our management's current
time schedule.

     Current Technology. Current technology represents proprietary "know how",
patents, or any other relevant intellectual property that is technologically
feasible as of the valuation date. Usually, current technology can be easily
identified as existing products generating revenues on a current basis. As of
December 31, 2004, the amounts allocated to current technology from the
interWAVE acquisition, the InnoWave acquisition and the Floware merger totaled
$3.5 million, $0.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets", ("SFAS No. 144"), the value of the current
technology as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, has also been reviewed and it was
determined that no indicators for impairment existed. The acquired current
technology is amortized using the straight line method, over 7 years, 4.75 years
and 7.75 depending on the respective product's amortization schedules.

     Customer relations. When an operating entity is acquired, the target
company is often a party to ongoing relationships with its customers that are of
material value to the acquirer. To the extent that future cash flow of a
business would be negatively affected in the absence of these relationships,
they are deemed to have economic value. The amount allocated to customer
relations acquired from the interWAVE and Innowave acquisitions totaled
approximately $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These values are
estimated by performing discounted cash flows analysis which is based upon
customer backlog at the date of acquisition and historical recurring revenues by
customer, reflecting customer renewal rates, and entails forecasting cash flows
to be generated by customer relations. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 we
reviewed the value of our customer relations as of December 31, 2004 and 2003
and determined that there was no indicators for impairment existed. The amount
of intangible assets represented by customer relations related to the interWAVE
and Innowave acquisitions is amortized using the straight line method over a
period of two years and 3.75 years, respectively reflecting the expected
attrition of the respective customer relationships.

     Tradename -- The amount allocated to the acquired tradename related to the
interWAVE acquisition of $1.1 million was based upon the estimated cost to
recreate tradenames. This estimated cost was based upon the historical
advertising and promotion spending over the last two years for our GSM products.
The amount allocated to tradename is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over two years based upon the expected transition time from the legacy hardware
to the next generation hardware.

     Should any of these intangibles have been impaired and therefore
written-down or written-off, the charge would result in a corresponding
reduction in our shareholders' equity and a corresponding charge to our
statement of operations. Should the estimates and tests that we conducted in
making these assessments be incorrect, we will have to record impairment on
these intangibles.

     Warranties. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the
time revenue is recognized. Our products sold are covered by a warranty for
periods ranging from one year to three years. We accrue a warranty reserve for
estimated costs to provide warranty services. Our estimate of costs to service
the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of
future conditions. We accrue for warranty costs as part of our cost of sales
based on associated material costs and technical support labor costs. Material
cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of
product returns within the warranty period and the cost to repair or replace the
equipment. Technical support labor cost is primarily estimated based upon
historical trends in the rate of customer calls and the cost to support the
customer calls within the warranty period. To the extent we experience increased
warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those
claims, our warranty accrual will increase, resulting in decreased gross profit.

     Deferred Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have
considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning
strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we
were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in
the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred


                                       39


tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.
Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part
of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax
asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Our
estimates for estimated future tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings
being lower than anticipated in countries where we have different statutory
rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or
changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are subject to
the continuous examination of our tax returns by the local tax authorities in
each country that we have established corporations. We regularly assess the
likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine
the adequacy of our provision for deferred taxes.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2003

     The results for the period December 9, 2004 through December 31, 2004
reflect the combined activities of Alvarion with former interWAVE operations
whereas the results of 2003 for the period between April 1, 2003 and December
31, 2003 reflect the combined activities of Alvarion with former InnoWave
operations. The results of former interWAVE operations during this period did
not have a material effect on our consolidated statement of operations.

     Sales. Sales in 2004 were approximately $201.5 million, an increase of
approximately 58.4% compared with sales of approximately $127.2 million in 2003.
interWAVE accounted for $1.6 million of revenues in 2004.The continuous
worldwide demand for broadband solutions, including broadband wireless
solutions, is the primary reason for the increase of our sales in 2004 compared
to 2003. This increased demand was derived from several sources such as, the
developing regions in Central and Eastern Europe where wireline infrastructure
is inadequate, Western Europe where well-capitalized independent operators who
own spectrums are deploying our solutions on a national basis, and an on-going
project which was initiated in 2003 by one of our customers which accounted for
about 30% and 14% of our revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. These
increases are reflected in our sales by countries. For example, Europe,
Middle-East and Africa accounted for 40% of our sales in 2004 reflecting an
increase of 55% over 2003 sales in this region. Latin America accounted for 39%
of our 2004 sales reflecting a year-over-year growth of approximately 150%.

     Cost of sales. Cost of sales was approximately $102.3 million in 2004, an
increase of approximately 49.3% compared with cost of sales of approximately
$68.5 million in 2003. interWAVE accounted for $1.3 million of our cost of sales
in 2004. Cost of sales consists primarily of cost of components, cost of product
manufacturing and assembly, labor, overhead and other costs associated with
production. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales
compared to 2003 partially offset by cost reduction processes. Cost of sales as
a percentage of sales decreased to approximately 50.8% in 2004 from
approximately 53.9% in 2003, primarily attributable to the continued
implementation of operational efficiency measures and cost reduction programs,
which we implemented during 2004, and due to the utilization of previously
written-off inventory, as described in "Inventory utilization" below.

     Write-off of excess inventory and provision for inventory purchase
commitments. We periodically assess our inventories valuation in accordance with
obsolete and slow moving items based on revenues forecasts and technological
obsolescence. Should inventories on-hand exceed our estimates or become obsolete
it would be written-down or written-off. This would result in a charge to our
statement of operations and a corresponding reduction in our inventory and
shareholders' equity. Changes in demand for our products and in our estimates
for demand create changes in provisions for obsolete inventory. As part of our
ordinary course of business we evaluate on a quarterly basis our actual
inventory needs versus our sales projections and write-off excess inventory
following our quarterly inventory evaluations and un-cancelable purchase
commitments from our suppliers and subcontractors. In 2004, we recorded charges
related to the write-off of excess inventory following our quarterly inventory
evaluations and accrued a provision for inventory purchase commitments of new
materials and components which we had purchased or committed to purchase in
anticipation of forecasted sales which we did not consummate in the aggregate
amount of approximately $10.9 million and $504,000, respectively compared to
approximately $5.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively in 2003.

     Inventory utilization. In 2000, we built significant inventories to sell
equipment to customers, primarily in the United States, to provide fast Internet
access utilizing unlicensed bandwidth. During that year we estimated that the
historical growth rate would continue. However, the sudden and unexpected
slowdown in the telecommunication industry started in 2001 curtailed the ability
of existing and prospective carriers and service providers to finance purchases
of products such as ours. Many carriers and service providers had stopped
deploying new networks or had ceased operations completely and were no longer
potential users of our products. Accordingly, in response to these market
condition changes and after evaluating industry trends, we performed an
inventory evaluation model designed to better align our inventory levels to the
new market conditions and anticipated customer demand. At that point, we
determined, based on the low market visibility, that it was unlikely that we
would be able to utilize or market our entire inventory. As a result, during the
second and third quarter of 2001, we wrote off certain components of our
products, that were deemed to be excess inventory, in the amount of $45.3
million.

     On April 1, 2003, as part of InnoWave's acquisition, we also acquired its
inventory, which was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. As a
result of the change in trends and the increase in 2003 of the overall worldwide
demand for broadband access solutions, the demand for our broadband wireless
products increased as well. Consequently, the demand for part of the related
products of our prior years' written-off components increased significantly and
we began utilizing part of them. Most of our utilized inventory in 2003 and 2004
was related to the write-offs of excess inventory made in 2001 and to certain
components of InnoWave's acquired inventory. Hence, approximately $6 million and
$5.5 million of previously written-off inventory was used in 2003 and 2004,
respectively, as product components in our regular production course and were
sold as finished goods to end-users. The sales of these related manufactured
products were reflected in our revenues without additional cost in the cost of
sales in the period that the inventory was utilized in accordance with ARB 43,
Chapter 4 footnote 2. This inventory utilization increased our gross profit in
2003 and 2004 by 4.8% and 2.7% of sales, respectively.

     If there was to be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our
products, or if there was a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because
of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we could be required
to increase our write-off of excess inventory allowances, and our gross margin
could be adversely affected. Inventory management remains an area of focus as we
balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive
lead times compared with the risk of inventory obsolescence. However, if the
demand for our products increases beyond our expectations following a write-down
of inventory we may further utilize our written-down inventory. Such utilization
may contribute to our gross margin in future periods.We cannot predict the
likelihood of utilizing previously written-off inventory in future operations.

     Research and development expenses, net. Gross Research and development
expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, development-related raw
materials and subcontractors, and other related costs. Gross research and
development expenses were approximately $31.7 million in 2004, an increase of
approximately 15.7% compared with gross research and development expenses of
approximately $27.4 million in 2003. interWAVE accounted for $0.5 million of
research and development expenses in 2004. The increase is primarily
attributable to the increase in employee-related expenses. Research and
development, gross, as a percentage of sales decreased to 15.8% in 2004 from
21.5% in 2003, primarily as a result of the increase in our revenues. Grants
from the OCS, totaled approximately $3.9 million in 2004 and $3.8 million in
2003. Research and development expenses, net, were approximately $27.8 million
in 2004, compared with approximately $23.5 million in 2003.

     Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist
primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in
selling and marketing activities, promotion, advertising, trade shows and
exhibitions, travel and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were
approximately $39.0 million in 2004, an increase of approximately 18.5% compared
with selling and marketing expenses of approximately $32.9 million in 2003.
interWAVE accounted for $0.3 million of selling and marketing expenses in 2004.
The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales reflected in
increased employee-related expenses and expanded sales and marketing efforts.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.4% in
2004 from 25.9% in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increase
in sales in 2004.

     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of compensation costs for administration, finance and general
management personnel, office maintenance, insurance costs, professional fee
costs and other administrative costs. General and administrative expenses were
approximately $9.7 million in 2004, an increase of approximately 54% compared
with general and administrative expenses of approximately $6.3 million in 2003.
interWAVE accounted for $0.3 million of general and administrative expenses in
2004. The increase is primarily attributable to the growth of our activities and
to professional fees related to the growth of our activities. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 4.8% in 2004 from
5% in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in sales in
2004.

     Acquisition related expenses. Acquisition related expenses of approximately
$369,000 consist primarily of compensation and related expenses to synergy of
employees from the merger transaction with interWAVE and human resources,
marketing, administrative and other expenses related to the transaction.

     Amortization of intangibles assets. As a result of the merger with Floware,
we acquired an identifiable intangible asset, which was defined as current
technology with an aggregate value of $16.8 million. This amount is being
amortized over the useful life of the asset, which is 7 years. As a result of
the acquisition of InnoWave, we acquired other acquisition-related intangibles
such as current technology and customer relations with an aggregate value of
$5.8 million, which is amortized over the useful life of these assets, which
range between 3.75 to 7.75 years. In addition, as a result of the acquisition of
interWAVE, we acquired other acquisition-related intangibles such as current
technology, customer relations and tradenames with an aggregate value of $5.8
million, which is amortized over the useful life of these assets, and range
between 2 to 7 years. Amortization charges of

                                       43


$2.8 million for all of these acquisition-related intangibles were recorded in
2004 and $2.6 million were recorded in 2003.

     Amortization of deferred stock compensation. Deferred stock compensation
charges of $60,000 were recorded in 2004 and $511,000 were recorded in 2003.
Deferred stock compensation charges in 2004 are related to the issuance of
options to purchase ordinary shares to one of our directors in 2003 and to
interWAVE's former CEO as part of the acquisition of interWAVE in 2004. Deferred
stock compensation charges in 2003 relate primarily to the issuance of our stock
options into which Floware stock options were converted pursuant to the terms of
our merger agreement with Floware. The 2003 amortization is due primarily to the
remaining balance of the deferred compensation of approximately $2.1 million
related to stock options granted to employees of Floware through July 31, 2001
based on the intrinsic value related to such options on the consummation date.
The deferred stock compensation is being amortized to expense over the vesting
periods of the applicable options.

     In-Process research and development write-off. As a result of the
acquisition of interWAVE, we acquired an identifiable intangible asset of $11.0
million allocated to the CDMA and a certain GSM technology. The in-process
research and development was determined by an independent appraisal using the
Income approach. These technologies were considered to have no alternative
future use other than the technological indications for which they were in
development and thus, no technological feasibility had been established.
Accordingly, this amount, was expensed in the consolidated statement of
operations, upon consummation of the acquisition in accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 4, "Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business
Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method" ("FIN 4").

     Financial income, net. Financial income, net, was approximately $3.8
million in 2004, a decrease of approximately 7.3%, compared with financial
income, net, of approximately $4.1 million in 2003. The decrease in financial
income is primarily attributable to the worldwide decrease in interest rates on
investments and the decrease in our cash reserves due to the acquisition of
interWAVE.

     Net income. In 2004, net income was approximately $851,000, compared with a
net loss of approximately $(11.8) million in 2003.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2002

     The results of 2003 for the period between April 1, 2003 and December 31,
2003 reflect the combined activities of Alvarion with former InnoWave operations
whereas results in 2002 and the first three months of 2003 reflect sales derived
only by Alvarion.

     Sales. Sales in 2003 were approximately $127.2 million, an increase of
approximately 43.2% compared with sales of approximately $88.8 million in 2002.
The inclusion of former InnoWave's results and the worldwide increased demand
for broadband solutions, including wireless broadband solutions, are the primary
reasons for the increase of our sales in 2003 compared to 2002. During 2003
there was a growing demand for BWA solutions, primarily in developing regions
with little existing telecom infrastructure such as Central and Eastern Europe,
Latin America and South East Asia. For example, in the second-half of 2003 we
received a large order of about $40 million for a major infrastructure
initiative in South America, most of which will be delivered in 2004.

     Cost of sales. Cost of sales was approximately $68.5 million in 2003, an
increase of approximately 24.3% compared with cost of sales of approximately
$55.1 million in 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase
in sales compared to 2002. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to
approximately 53.9% in 2003 from approximately 62.0% in 2002, primarily
attributable to the continued implementation of operational efficiency measures
and cost reduction programs, which we implemented during 2003.

     Write-off of excess inventory and provision for inventory purchase
commitments. In 2003, we recorded charges related to the write-off of excess
inventory and accrued a provision for inventory purchase commitments in the
aggregate amount of approximately $6.6 million compared to approximately
$250,000 in 2002. Adverse economic conditions along with reduced capital
spending worldwide, particularly in the telecommunications equipment markets,
resulted in our determination that it is unlikely for us to utilize or market
our entire inventory or purchase commitments in the next few quarters and were
the main reasons for this charge. During this period we utilized about $6.1
million of inventory that was written off in previous years and this improved
our margins.


                                       44


     Research and development expenses, net. Gross research and development
expenses were approximately $27.4 million in 2003, a decrease of approximately
1.0% compared with gross research and development expenses of approximately
$27.6 million in 2002. The decrease in gross research and development expenses
in 2003 was a result of our restructuring initiatives carried out toward the end
of 2002, partially offset by the consolidation of InnoWave's research and
development operations. Research and development, gross, as a percentage of
sales decreased to 21.5% in 2003 from 31.1% in 2002, primarily as a result of
the increase in our revenues. Grants from the OCS, totaled approximately $3.8
million in 2003 and $3.5 million in 2002. This increase is primarily
attributable to our grants received and accrued for our generic projects and for
the projects acquired in the InnoWave acquisition that are entitled to OCS
grants. Research and development expenses, net, were approximately $23.5 million
in 2003, compared with approximately $24.1 million in 2002.

     Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were
approximately $32.9 million in 2003, an increase of approximately 23.8% compared
with selling and marketing expenses of approximately $26.6 million in 2002. This
increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales reflected in
increased employee-related expenses and intense sales and marketing efforts.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 25.9% in
2003 from 29.9% in 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increase
in sales in 2003.

     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
were approximately $6.3 million in 2003, an increase of approximately 5.0%
compared with general and administrative expenses of approximately $6.0 million
in 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to the growth of our activities
due to the InnoWave acquisition. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales decreased to 5.0% in 2003 from 6.8% in 2002, mainly due to
the increase in sales and efficiencies and cost savings which reflect the
economies of scale achieved in the acquisition of InnoWave.

     Acquisition-related expenses. The acquisition-related expenses of
approximately $ 2.2 million are comprised of charges related to information
technology systems integration expenses, bonuses, compensation and related
expenses to synergy of employees from the acquisition of InnoWave and human
resources, marketing, administrative and other expenses related to the
acquisition.

     Amortization of intangibles assets. As a result of the merger with Floware,
we acquired an identifiable intangible asset, which was defined as current
technology, with an aggregate value of $16.8 million. This amount is being
amortized over the useful life of the asset, which is 7 years. In addition, as a
result of the acquisition of InnoWave, we acquired other acquisition related
intangibles such as current technology and customer relations with an aggregate
value of $1.6 million, which is amortized over the useful life of these assets,
which ranges between 3.75 and 7.75 years. Amortization charges of $2.6 million
were recorded in 2003 and $2.4 million were recorded in 2002.

     Amortization of deferred stock compensation. Deferred stock compensation
charges of $511,000 were recorded in 2003 and $580,000 were recorded in 2002,
relating primarily to our the issuance of stock options into which Floware stock
options were converted pursuant to the terms of our merger agreement with
Floware.

     Financial income, net. Financial income, net, was approximately $4.1
million in 2003, a decrease of approximately 37.3%, compared with financial
income, net, of approximately $6.6 million in 2002. The decrease in financial
income is primarily attributable to the worldwide decrease in interest rates on
investments and partially as a result of the decrease in our cash reserves,
mostly due to the acquisition of InnoWave.

     Net loss. In 2003, net loss was approximately $(11.8) million, compared
with a net loss of approximately $(20.7) million in 2002.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations

     The dollar cost of our operations is influenced by the extent to which
inflation in Israel is offset by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the
dollar. Substantially all of our sales, and most of our expenses, are
denominated in dollars. However, a portion of our expenses, primarily labor
expenses is denominated in NIS unlinked to the dollar. Inflation in Israel will
have the effect of increasing the cost in dollars of these expenses unless
offset on a timely basis by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar.
Yet the devaluation of the NIS against the dollar will have the effect of
decreased dollar cost of our operations in Israel. Because exchange rates
between the NIS and


                                       45


the dollar fluctuate continuously, albeit with a historically declining trend in
the value of the NIS, exchange rate fluctuations will have an impact on our
profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations. In
2004, the valuation of the NIS against the dollar exceeded the rate of inflation
in Israel and we have experienced an increase in the dollar cost of our
operations in Israel.

     To protect against exchange rate fluctuations, we have instituted several
foreign currency hedging programs. These hedging activities consist of cash flow
hedges of anticipated NIS payroll and forward exchange contracts to hedge
certain trade payables payments in NIS. These activities are all effective as
hedges of these expenses. Please see "Item 11 -- Qualitative and Quantitative
Market Risks"

     For a discussion of certain policies or factors relating to our being an
Israeli company and our location in Israel, please see "Item 3 -- Key
Information -- Risk Factors -- Risks Relating to our Location in Israel."

     B.   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The following sections discuss the effects of changes in our balance
sheets, cash flows, and commitments on our liquidity and capital resources.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

     Total cash, cash equivalents, short term and long term marketable
securities and deposits were $132.7 million as of December 31, 2004, a decrease
of approximately $20.9 million or 13.6% from $153.6 million at December 31,
2003. The change in cash reserves was a result of cash used mainly for the
acquisition of interWAVE of $47.9 million and the repayment of maturities of
long term loan of $1.7 million, partially offset by cash provided from the
issuance of ordinary shares of $9.8 million related to the exercise of warrants
and employees' stock options and cash provided from all other operating,
investing, and financing activities of $18.9 million.

     Our operating activities provided cash of approximately $23.0 million in
2004 and $1.6 million in 2003 and used cash of approximately $9.5 million in
2002 . The cash flows provided in 2004 include our net income in this period
together with the write-off of In-process research and development relating to
the interWAVE acquisition and the increase in other accounts payables partially
offset by the increase of trade receivables and trade payables. The cash flows
provided in 2003 include our net loss in this period together with increase in
trade receivables partially offset by increase in trade payables and other
accounts payables. The negative cash flows in 2002 include our net loss in this
period together with increase in trade and other accounts payables partially
offset by decrease in trade receivables, other accounts receivables and
inventories, reflecting our reduced cash burn during this year.

     Our investing activities used cash of approximately $34.7 million in 2004
used cash of approximately $3.6 million in 2003 and provided cash of
approximately $6.4 million in 2002.

     Capital expenditures were approximately $3.4 million in 2004, $3.1 million
in 2003 and$4.3 million in 2002. These expenditures principally financed the
purchase of research and development equipment and manufacturing equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $8.1
million in 2004 and $2.0 million in 2003 and used in financing activities of
$6.3 million in 2002 . In 2004, the amount of cash provided was attributable
primarily to proceeds from the issuance of shares in connection with the
exercise of warrants and employees' options at the amount of approximately $9.8
million partially offset by repayment of maturities of long term loan of $1.7
million. In 2003, the amount of cash provided was attributable primarily to
proceeds from the issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of
employees' options in the amount of approximately $4.9 million and from the
proceeds from long-term debt in the amount of $6.9 million, partially offset by
the repurchase of shares in the amount of approximately $1.3 million and the
settlement of our debt to the OCS in the amount of $8.5 million. In 2002, we
received an Israeli court approval for the purchase of up to $9 million of our
ordinary shares. Following the court approval, our board of directors approved
the purchase of our ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions. These
purchases are conducted as either open market purchases or private transactions.
In 2002, we began repurchasing our shares. As of June 14, 2005, we had
repurchased approximately 3.8 million of our ordinary shares at an aggregate
cost of approximately $7.9 million. Our board of directors may increase the
amount of ordinary shares that we may repurchase in the future. The amount of
cash provided in 2002 was attributable primarily to proceeds from the issuance
of shares in connection with the exercise of options.


                                       46


     We expect that cash provided by operations may fluctuate in future periods
as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating
results, shipment timing, accounts receivable collections, inventory management,
and the timing of other payments and investments.

     We have historically met our financial requirements primarily through the
sale of equity securities, including our initial public offering and follow-on
public offering, and through research and development and marketing grants from
the government of Israel, bank borrowings and cash generated from operations and
from the exercise of warrants and options. We raised approximately $107 million
from the sale of 5,750,000 ordinary shares in our initial public offering in
March 2000 and approximately $73 million from the sale of 2,150,000 ordinary
shares in our July 2000 follow-on offering. We also obtained approximately $55.5
million in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and deposits as a
result of our merger with Floware in 2001 and approximately $30.1 million was
received and accrued as financial income from 2000 through 2004.

     Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable, net was $28.1 million and
$21.2 million as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Days
sales outstanding ("DSO") in receivables as of December 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003 were 51 days and 61 days, respectively. Decrease in DSO's in 2004 is
primarily a result of the change in the mix of credit terms and intense
collections in 2004.

     Inventories. Inventories were $41.3 million as of December 31, 2004, an
increase of $4.3 million or 11.6% from $37 million at December 31, 2003.
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and
inventories at customers which are not recognized as revenues yet. This increase
in inventory level is mainly attributed to the increase of our sales and to the
increased number of products we offer, including interWAVE products. Inventory
turns were approximately two and a half times in fiscal 2004 and two times in
2003. Inventory levels and the associated inventory turns reflect our ongoing
inventory management efforts. Inventory management remains an area of focus as
we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive
lead times against the risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly
changing technology and customer requirements. We are focusing our operational
efforts to increase inventory turns to enhance our responsiveness to future
customers' needs and market changes.

     WORKING CAPITAL

     Our working capital was approximately $53.3 million as of December 31,
2004, compared to $90.4 million as of December 31, 2003 and to $74.2 million as
of December 31, 2002. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2003 to
December 31, 2004 is primarily attributable to the cash used for the acquisition
of interWAVE and the increase of other accounts payable and accrued expenses
partially offset by the increase in trade receivables. The increase in working
capital from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003 is primarily attributable to
investment of our cash reserves in short-term bank deposits, an increase in
trade receivables and inventories level, partially offset by an increase in
accounts and trade payables.

     Commitments

     Long term debt. During 2003, we entered into a long-term loan agreement for
approximately $7.0 million with a bank designated for the settlement of a
portion of our OCS royalty payment obligations. The loan is linked to the US
dollar and is payable in four equal annual installments carrying variable
interest. As of December 31, 2004 the balance of the long-term loan was $5.2
million. The loan is secured by a back-to-back lien of a bank deposit.

     Leases. We lease office space in several worldwide locations. Rent expense
totaled $4.5 million in 2004, $4.0 million in 2003 and $3.6 million in 2002,
respectively. We also lease various motor vehicles under operating lease
agreements, which expire in 2007. Motor vehicles leasing expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2004 were $2.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2003
were $2.2 million and for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $2.0 million.


                                       47


     Future annual minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating
leases as of December 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands):

     Royalties. During 2004, we recorded royalty-bearing grants from the OCS for
the support of research and development activities aggregating to $480,000 for
certain of our research and development projects. We are obligated to pay
royalties to the OCS, amounting to 3%-5% of the sales of the products and other
related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100%-150% of the grants
received, linked to the U.S. dollar. The obligation to pay these royalties is
contingent upon actual sales of the products, and in the absence of such sales,
no payment is required.

     During 2004, we paid or accrued royalties to the OCS in the amount of $2.9
million. As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate contingent liability to the OCS
amounted to $7.2 million.

     The following table of our material contractual obligations as of December
31, 2004, summarizes the aggregate effect that these obligations are expected to

     FUTURE NEEDS

     Based on past performance and current expectations we believe that cash
generated from operations, our cash balances and investments, governmental
research and development grants, the net proceeds from our public offerings and
from our merger with Floware will satisfy our working capital needs, capital
expenditures, investment requirements, stock repurchases, commitments, future
customer financings, and other liquidity requirements associated with our
existing operations through at least the next twelve months. We believe that the
most strategic uses of our cash resources include working capital, strategic
investments to gain access to new technologies, acquisitions, financing
activities, and repurchase of shares. There are no transactions, arrangements,
and other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are
reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of our
requirements for capital resources. However, if our operations do not generate
cash to the extent currently anticipated by us, or if we grow more rapidly than
currently anticipated, it is possible that we will require more funds than
anticipated. We expect that these sources will continue to finance our
operations in the long term, and will be complemented, if required, by private
or public financing.

Effective Corporate Tax Rate

     Income derived by Alvarion Ltd. is generally subject to the regular Israeli
corporate tax rate, which is progressively being reduced from 36% to 35% in 2004
and to a rate of 30% in 2007. However, as detailed below, income derived in
Israel from certain "Approved Enterprises" will enjoy certain tax benefits for a
specific definitive period. The allocation of income derived from approved
enterprises is dependent upon compliance of certain requirements with the
Investment Law.

     Our manufacturing facilities in Tel Aviv and Nazareth have been granted
"Approved Enterprise" status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital
Investments, 1959, as amended, or the Investment Law, and,


                                       48


consequently, are eligible, subject to compliance with specified requirements,
for tax benefits beginning when such facilities first generate taxable income.

     According to the provision of the law, we have elected the "alternative
benefits" track provisions of the investment law, pursuant to which we have
waived our right to grants and instead receive a tax benefit on undistributed
income derived from the "Approved Enterprise" program. The tax benefits under
the Investment Law may not be available with respect to income derived from
products manufactured outside of Israel or manufactured in Israel but outside of
the Approved Enterprises mentioned above and may be affected by the current
location of our facilities in Israel. The relative portion of taxable income
that should be allocated to each Approved Enterprise and expansion is subject to
the fulfillment of covenants with the tax authorities.

     On September 6, 1995, our production facilities in Tel Aviv were granted
Approved Enterprise status. Subject to compliance with applicable requirements,
the income derived from the Tel Aviv Approved Enterprise will be tax-exempt for
a period of four years and will enjoy a reduced tax rate of 10% to 25% for the
following six years. The actual number of years and tax rate depends upon the
percentage of the non-Israeli holders of our share capital. On December 31,
1997, our production facilities in Nazareth were granted Approved Enterprise
status. Subject to compliance with applicable requirements, the income derived
from the Nazareth Approved Enterprise is tax exempt for a period of ten years.

     The periods of tax benefits with respect to each of the Tel Aviv and
Nazareth Approved Enterprises will commence with the first year in which we earn
our taxable income and exhaust our accumulated tax loss carry forwards. The
period of tax benefits for the Approved Enterprises are subject to limits of the
earlier of 12 years from the commencement of production or 14 years from
receiving the approval. The period of benefits for the Tel Aviv Approved
Enterprise has not yet commenced, and will expire in the year 2007. The period
of benefits for the Nazareth plan has not yet commenced, and will expire in
2009.

     In 1998, Floware submitted a request for Approved Enterprise status of its
production facility in Or Yehuda. This request was approved. After the merger,
Floware's enterprise was relocated into our facilities in Tel-Aviv. The income
derived from this Approved Enterprise will be tax-exempt for a period of two
years and will thereafter enjoy a reduced tax rate between 10% and 25% for an
additional period of five to eight years. The actual number of years and tax
rate depends upon the percentage of the non-Israeli holders of our share
capital. The period of benefits will commence with the first year that we earn
taxable income, and will expire in 2011.

     In 2000, we received approval of our application for an expansion of our
Approved Enterprise status with respect to our Nazareth facility. This expansion
will include, among other things, our Carmiel facility, which during 2004 was
relocated to Migdal Ha-emek. The income derived from this Approved Enterprise
will be tax-exempt for a period of ten years. The relative portion of taxable
income that should be exempt for a ten year period is subject to final covenants
with the tax authorities. The ten-year period of benefits will commence with the
first year in which we earn taxable income, and will expire in 2013.

     InnoWave was granted an "Approved Enterprise" status for its 1997 plan
regarding the production facility in Omer. During 1999, InnoWave's request for
an expansion was approved.

     During 2003, we applied for the assignment of former InnoWave's "Approved
Enterprise" status to Alvarion. Such approval was obtained. The income derived
from this Approved Enterprise will be tax-exempt for a period of ten years. The
relative portion of taxable income that should be exempt for a ten year period
is subject to final covenants with the tax authorities. The ten-year period of
benefits will commence with the first year in which we earn taxable income, and
will expire in 2014.

     In order to maintain eligibility for the above programs and benefits
following the Floware merger and InnoWave acquisition, we must meet specified
conditions stipulated by the Investment Law, regulations published there under
and the letters of approval for the specific investments in "Approved
Enterprises". In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, any
benefits which were previously granted may be canceled and we may be required to
refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including interest.

     If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed they would be taxed at
the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if we had not elected the
alternative system of benefits, currently between 15%-20% for an


                                       49


"Approved Enterprise". As of December 31, 2004, our accumulated deficit does not
include tax-exempt profits earned by our "Approved Enterprise."

     A recent amendment to the Investment Law (the "Amendment"), which has been
officially published and effected since of April 1, 2005, has significantly
changed the provisions of the Investment 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. Additionally, the
Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded
under the Investment Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center
approval in order to qualify for tax benefits. However, the Amendment 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.

     As of December 31, 2004, in the Israeli company we had available tax loss
carryforwards amounting to approximately $89 million, which may be carried
forward, in order to offset taxable income in the future, for an indefinite
period. In addition, the incurred net tax operating loss carryforwards in a
total amount of $69 million of BreezeCOM and Floware at the effective time of
the merger can be carried forward to subsequent years and may be set off against
our taxable income beginning with the tax year immediately following the merger.
This set off is limited per each calendar year to the lesser of:

          o    20% of the aggregate net tax operating losses of the merging
               companies prior to the effective time of the merger; and

          o    50% of the combined company's taxable income in the relevant tax
               year before the set off of losses from preceding years.

     These restrictions, with several modifications, also apply to the set off
of capital losses of the merging companies against capital gains of the combined
company. Our available tax losses carryforwards in Alvarion Ltd. are nominated
in NIS and therefore subject to the effect of currency fluctuations of the NIS
in relation to the dollar.

     As a result, we do not anticipate being subject to income tax in Israel
until at least 2007.

     As of December 31, 2004, the state and the U.S. federal tax losses
carryforward of our U.S. subsidiary, excluding former interWAVE tax losses
carryforward, amounted to approximately $6.6 million and $17.5 million,
respectively. These losses are available to offset against any future U.S.
taxable income of our U.S. subsidiary and will expire in the years 2009 and
2024, respectively.

     Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial
annual limitations due to the "change in ownership" provisions ("annual
limitations") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.
The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses
before utilization.

     Following the acquisition of interWAVE, we have analyzed the annual
limitations on its net operating losses as of the acquisition date and our
alternatives to benefits from such losses. As of December 31, 2004, we have yet
to finalize the estimated amount of net operating loss carryforward resulted by
interWAVE acquisition.

Reduction in corporate tax rate

     On June 2004, the Israeli Parliament approved an amendment to the Income
Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), which progressively reduces the
corporate tax rate from 36% to 35% in 2004 and to a rate of 30% in 2007. Because
we have more than one "Approved Enterprise," our effective tax rate in Israel
will be a weighted combination of the various applicable tax rates. We are
likely to be unable to take advantage of all tax benefits in Israel for an
Approved Enterprise, which would otherwise be available to us because a portion
of our operations may be considered by the Israeli tax authorities as generated
in areas that are defined as non-Approved Enterprise areas. In addition, because
the tax authorities customarily review and reassess existing tax benefits
granted to merging companies, and we have yet to finalize the status of our tax
benefits following the Floware merger, the InnoWave acquisition and the
interWAVE acquisition, we cannot assure you that the tax authorities will not
modify the tax benefits that we enjoyed prior to these transactions.

     Our effective corporate tax rate may substantially exceed the Israeli tax
rate. Our Brazilian, French, German, Hong Kong, Japanese, Romanian, U.K.,
Uruguayan, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Mexican, Ireland, China, Philippines


                                       50


and U.S. subsidiaries will generally each be subject to applicable federal,
state, local and foreign taxation, and we may also be subject to taxation in
other jurisdictions where we own assets, have employees or conduct activities.
Because of the complexity of these local tax provisions, it is not possible to
anticipate the actual combined effective corporate tax rate that will apply to
us.

Government Grants

     Under an arrangement previously entered with the Office of the Chief
Scientist in Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade ("the OCS"), the company
settled its liability for the amount due of $8,534. The repayment to the OCS
could be made over a period of five years from the date of settlement. The
liability is linked to Israel's Consumer Price Index ("CPI") and bears annual
interest of 4%. (For additional information please refer to Note 10 of our
financial statements).

     This Arrangement enables the Company to participate in new OCS programs
under which it will be eligible to receive grants for research and development
projects without any royalty repayment obligations excluding OCS programs grants
resulting from InnoWave's former operations which were not included in the
Arrangement.

     In addition to these grants, we obtain grants from the OCS to fund certain
other research and development projects as part of our participation in the
Magnet Consortium These grants do not bear any royalty repayment obligations.

     In addition, during 2004, we participated in a consortium in the frame of
the European 6th program. As of December 31, 2004 we accrued grants from this
project totaling $530,000. These grants do not bear any royalty repayment
obligations.

     Following our acquisition of interWAVE and its subsidiaries, the Irish
subsidiary participates in programs sponsored by the Irish Government and the
European Union, operated by the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and
previously by Shannon Development. These programs are designed to promote
research and development and overall regional development. No royalties are
payable on these grants but the IDA may at any time within five years from the
date of payment of the last installment from any particular grant stop payment
of the grants and/or revoke and cancel or reduce the grants under certain
circumstances.

Recently issued accounting standards

     In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs, An amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.".
SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4, to
clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight handling costs
and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges.
In addition, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads
to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. SAFS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS
No. 151 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of
operations.

     In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the
consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments". The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying
impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for
investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FSP EITF 03 1, "Effective Date of
Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1," which defers the effective date for
the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF
03-1 pending the development of further guidance. We will continue to monitor
these developments concerning this Issue and are currently unable to determine
the impact of EITF 03-1 on our financial position or results of operations.

     On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of
FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement
123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the
approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement
123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure


                                       51


is no longer an alternative. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in
which financial statements have not yet been issued. The new standard will be
effective for us in the first interim period beginning after January 1, 2006.

     As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based
payments to employees using Opinion 25's intrinsic value method and, as such,
generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options. In
addition, non-compensatory plans under APB 25 will be considered compensatory
for Statement 123(R) purposes. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)'s
fair value method will have a significant impact on our result of operations,
although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. Had we
adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would
have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of
pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2m to our consolidated
financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on
our results of operations and financial position.

     C.   RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES

     Our product development plans are market-driven and address the major,
fast-moving trends that influence the wireless industry. We believe that our
future success will depend upon our ability to maintain technological
competitiveness, to enhance our existing products and to introduce on a timely
basis new commercially viable products addressing the demands of the broadband
wireless access market. Accordingly, we devote, and intend to continue to
devote, a significant portion of our personnel and financial resources to
research and development. As part of the product development process, we seek to
maintain close relationships with current and potential distributors, other
resellers and end-users, strategic partners and leaders in industry segments in
which we operate to identify market needs and define appropriate product
specifications.

     As of December 31, 2004, our research and development staff consisted of
379 full time employees. Our research and development is conducted at our
facilities in Israel, the U.S., Romania, Ireland and China. We occasionally use
independent subcontractors for portions of our development projects.

     Our gross research and development expenses were approximately $27.6
million or 31.1% of sales in 2002, $27.4 million or 21.5% of sales in 2003 and
$31.7 million or 15.7% of sales in 2004. The OCS reimbursed us for approximately
$3.5 million in 2002, $3.8 million in 2003 and $3.9 million in 2004.

     D.   TREND INFORMATION

     Growth in Demand for Broadband

     Three years ago, only five million DSL lines had been installed. Now there
are over 80 million DSL lines deployed around the world. Yet there are millions
of additional customers who want broadband connectivity but cannot get it
because in developed regions there are areas that DSL or other broadband
solutions cannot reach. In the U.S., for example, as overall demand for
broadband increases, so does the demand in areas lacking coverage from DSL or
cable, which is prompting the incumbent operators to consider broadband wireless
technology.

     Strong demand is coming from the developing regions of the world where the
existing infrastructure is of poor quality or missing entirely. The authorities
in areas such as Latin America, China, India, Africa and Eastern Europe are
choosing to leap over the limitations of wireline technology and deploy wireless
networks to support universal voice and broadband data services. Our largest
deployment so far, which began in late 2003, is a major infrastructure
initiative in Latin America that calls for tens of thousands of lines to be
rolled out over several quarters.

     Regulatory Factors

     Regulation is a key factor in the adoption of wireless broadband solutions;
allocation of licenses by governments may increase the demand for our solutions
in the allocated bands.

     In Western Europe, many governments and municipalities are now mandating
100% broadband availability, requiring the incumbent operators to fill their DSL
coverage gaps. In many European countries, this represents a significant number
of households. Wireless Broadband solutions provide a fast and cost effective
way to meet this requirement. Currently, we are working with telecommunication
companies in the UK, France, and Sweden on the trial-phase of universal access
projects.


                                       52


     We are also active in additional developing areas, such as Russia, Africa,
Chain and we see future potential in other deregulating low tele-density
regions, such as India.

     Role of Standards

     We believe that the ability of standards adoption to act as a catalyst for
growth is evident in the growth patterns of the fax, cellular and wireless LAN
markets. Our belief in the power of standards has caused us to be active in this
area for several years. We have been one of the most active proponents of the
IEEE 802.16 standard and we helped found the WiMAX Forum in 2003 to promote its
adoption.

     Intel Corporation made a very strong commitment to the standard and pledged
to develop IEEE 802.16-compliant silicon, the IEEE 802.16-2004 which is
currently available to equipment vendors and the IEEE 802.16e complaint silicon,
to enable broadband mobility which is expected to be available in future. With
the availability of mass produced chips, the cost of customer premise equipment
is expected to decline significantly. Lower cost, coupled with better throughput
and greater ease of installation resulting from next generation technology, plus
interoperability to facilitate multi-vendor networks, are some of the advantages
that are expected to fuel growth in demand for WiMAX compliant solutions.

     C.   BOARD PRACTICES

Appointment of Directors and Terms of Officers

     Our directors are elected by our shareholders at an annual general
shareholders' meeting. Our directors generally commence the terms of their
office at the close of the annual general shareholders' meeting at which they
are elected and, other than our external directors, serve in office until the
close of the third annual general shareholders' meeting following the meeting at
which they are elected, and may be re-elected by the shareholders. Annual
general shareholders' meetings are required to be held at least once every
calendar year, but not more than fifteen months after the last preceding annual
general shareholders' meeting. Until the next annual general shareholders'
meeting, shareholders may elect new directors to fill vacancies in, or increase
the number of the members of the board of directors in a special meeting of the
shareholders. Our board of directors may appoint any person as a director
temporarily to fill any vacancy created in the board of directors, except for
vacancies of an external director. The terms of office of the directors,
including compensation, must be approved, under the Israeli Companies Law, by
the audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders. The
appointment and terms of office of all our executive officers are determined by
our board of directors.


                                       56


Service Contracts of Directors

     None of our directors has the right to receive any benefit upon termination
of his or her office or any service contract he or she may have with us.

External Directors

     We are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. Under the
Israeli Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose
shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to
appoint a minimum of two directors who qualify as external directors under the
Israeli Companies Law. A person may not be appointed as an external director if
the person or the person's relative, partner, employer or any entity under the
person's control, has, as of the date of the person's appointment as external
director, or had, during the preceding two years, any affiliation with the
company, any entity controlling the company or any entity controlled by the
company or by this controlling entity. The term affiliation includes:

          o    an employment relationship;

          o    a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular
               basis;

          o    control; and

          o    service as an office holder.

     A person may not serve as an external director if that person's position or
other business creates, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person's
responsibilities as an external director or may adversely impact such person's
ability to serve as an external director. Under the Israeli Companies Law, each
committee of a company's board of directors is required to include at least one
external director. The term of office of an external director is three years and
may be extended for one additional three year term. The external directors must
be elected by the majority of the shareholders in a general meeting, provided
that either the shares voting in favor of the external director's election
includes at least one-third of the shares of non-controlling shareholders or the
total shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election does not
represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the company. Until the
lapse of two years from his or her termination of office, a company may not
engage a former external director to serve as an office holder and may not
employ or receive professional services from that person, either directly or
indirectly, including through an entity controlled by that person.

     Currently Ms. Robin Hacke and Professor Raphael Amit qualify as our
external directors under the Israeli Companies Law. Ms. Hacke was elected as an
external director for an initial three year term on August 1, 2001, and was
re-elected for an additional term on April 28, 2004. On September 30, 2003,
Professor Amit was elected as an external director for an initial three year
term, effective as of October 1, 2003. We have appointed the external directors
to the committees of our board of directors as required by law.

Audit Committee

     Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of a public
company must appoint an audit committee. The responsibilities of the audit
committee include monitoring the management of the company's business and
suggesting appropriate courses of action, as well as approving related party
transactions, reviewing and recommending on board members compensation and other
matters as required by law. The audit committee must be comprised of at least
three directors, including all of the external directors. The audit committee
may not include the chairman of the board, any director employed by the company
or providing to the company services on a regular basis, or a controlling
shareholder or his relative. Our audit committee assists the board of directors
in fulfilling its responsibilities to ensure the integrity of our financial
reports, serves as an independent and objective monitor of our financial
reporting process and internal controls systems, including the activities of our
independent auditor and internal audit function, and provides an open avenue of
communication between the board of directors and the independent auditors,
internal auditor and financial and executive management. The members of our
audit committee are Professor Amit, Ms. Hacke and Mr. Eran, each of whom are
independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing requirements.
Professor Amit qualifies as a financial expert for purposes of the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. As stated above, Ms. Hacke and Professor
Amit qualify as external directors under the Israeli Companies Law.


                                       57


Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

     The compensation, nominating and corporate governance committee of our
board of directors, which consists of Mr. Maher, Dr. Barel, Professor Amit, and
Dr. Kettler, assists the board of directors in carrying out its responsibilities
relating to compensation of our top executive officers, including our President,
Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer,
and the setting of their respective goals, and in administering our share option
plans and other issues relating to employee compensation. Our compensation,
nominating and corporate governance committee is also responsible for
recommending to the board of directors nominees for board membership and for
reviewing and advising the board of directors on corporate governance issues.

Internal Auditor

     The Israeli Companies Law also requires the board of directors of a public
company to appoint an internal auditor recommended by the audit committee. The
role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, whether the
company's acts comply with applicable law and orderly business procedure. The
internal auditor may be an employee of the company but may not be an interested
party or office holder, or a relative of any interested party or office holder,
and may not be a member of the company's independent accounting firm or its
representative. Mr. Yossi Ginnosar, CPA, serves as our internal auditor.

Fiduciary Duties of Office Holders; Approval of Specified Related Party
Transactions Under Israeli Law

     The Israeli Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office
holders, including directors and executive officers, owe to a company. An office
holder's fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. The
duty of care requires an office holder to act with the level of skill with which
a reasonable office holder in the same position would have acted under the same
circumstances. The office holder's duty of care includes a duty to use
reasonable means to obtain information on the advisability of a given action
brought for his approval or performed by him by virtue of his position, and all
other significant information pertaining to those actions. The duty of loyalty
requires an office holder to act in good faith and for the company's benefit,
and includes avoiding any conflict of interest between the office holder's
position in the company and any other position held by him or his personal
affairs, avoiding any competition with the company, avoiding exploiting any
business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal advantage for
himself or others, and disclosing to the company any information or documents
relating to the company's affairs that the office holder has received as a
result of his position as an office holder. Each person listed in the table
under "Directors and Senior Management" above is deemed to be an office holder
under the Israeli Companies Law. Under the Israeli Companies Law, all
arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require
approval of the board of directors and, with respect to indemnification and
insurance of these office holders, also require audit committee approval.
Arrangements regarding the compensation of directors, as well as indemnification
and/or insurance for directors, require each of the audit committee, board of
directors and shareholder approvals.

Disclosure of Personal Interest

     The Israeli Companies Law requires that an office holder of a company
promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related
material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or
proposed transaction by the company. This would include disclosure of a personal
interest of the office holder's spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents,
descendants, spouse's descendants, and their spouses, as well as of any
corporation in which the office holder or his or her relative is a 5% or greater
shareholder, director or general manager or in which he or she or his or her
relative has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager,
but does not include a personal interest arising solely from the holding itself
of shares of the company. Disclosure is not required if the transaction is not
an extraordinary transaction, that is, a transaction other than in the ordinary
course of business, otherwise than on market terms, or likely to have a material
impact on the company's profitability, assets or liabilities, and in which the
office holder's personal interest results solely from the personal interest of
his or her relative. Once the office holder complies with his or her disclosure
requirement, if the transaction is not an extraordinary transaction, the Israeli
Companies Law provides that only the approval of the board of directors is
required unless the articles of association provide otherwise. Approval of these
types of transactions is conditioned on the transaction not being adverse to the
company's interest. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, then, in
addition to any approval stipulated by the


                                       58


articles of association, it also must be approved by the company's audit
committee and then by the board of directors. A director, who has a personal
interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors
or the audit committee, may generally not be present at this meeting or vote on
this matter. However, a director may be present at a meeting of the board of
directors or audit committee and participate in the vote despite having a
personal interest in the transaction under consideration, if most of the
directors or most of the members of the audit committee, as the case may be,
have a personal interest in the transaction. If most of the directors have a
personal interest in a transaction, the transaction also requires shareholders'
approval.

Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder

     The Israeli Companies Law applies the same disclosure requirements to a
controlling shareholder of a public company. A controlling shareholder is a
shareholder who has the ability to direct the activities of a company, and may
include a shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights if no other
shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. Subject to
exceptions specified in regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law,
extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a
controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and the terms of compensation
of a controlling shareholder who is an office holder or employee, require the
approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and a majority of the
shareholders of the company in a general meeting, provided that either such
majority include at least one-third of the shareholders who have no personal
interest in the transaction and are present at the meeting, or the total
shareholdings of those who have no personal interest in the transaction that
vote against the transaction does not represent more than one percent of the
total voting rights in the company. For information concerning the direct and
indirect personal interests of certain of our office holders and principal
shareholders in certain transactions with us, see "Item 7 -- Major Shareholders
and Related Party Transactions -- Related Party Transactions."

Duties of Shareholders

     In addition, under the Israeli Companies Law each shareholder has a duty to
act in good faith in exercising his or her rights and fulfilling his or her
obligations toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from
abusing any power he or she has in the company, such as in shareholder votes. In
addition, certain shareholders have a duty of fairness toward the company,
although such duty is not defined in the Israeli Companies Law. These
shareholders include any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that
it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any
shareholder who, pursuant to the provisions of the articles of association, has
the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an office holder or any
other power in regard to the company.

Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Our articles of association provide that, to the extent permitted by the
Israeli Companies Law, we may indemnify our office holders for liabilities or
expenses incurred by an office holder as a result of an act done by him in his
capacity as an office holder, such as:

          o    financial liability imposed on him in favor of another person by
               a court judgment, including a settlement judgment or an
               arbitrator's award approved by a court; and

          o    reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney's fees,
               expended by an office holder or charged to him by a court in
               proceedings filed against him by us or on our behalf or by
               another person, or in a criminal charge from which he was
               acquitted, or in a criminal charge of which he was convicted of a
               crime that does not require a finding of criminal intent.

     The Israeli Companies Law and our articles of association provide that,
subject to certain limitations, we may undertake in advance to indemnify our
office holders.

     Our articles of association provide that, to the extent permitted by the
Israeli Companies Law, we may obtain insurance to cover any liabilities imposed
on our office holders as a result of an act done by him in his capacity as an
office holder, in any of the following:

          o    a breach of his duty of care to us or to another person;

          o    a breach of his duty of loyalty to us, provided that he acted in
               good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that his act
               would not harm us; or


                                       59


          o    financial liability imposed upon him in favour of another person.

     These provisions are specifically limited in their scope by the Israeli
Companies Law, which provides that a company may not indemnify or procure
insurance for an office holder for:

          o    a breach of the duty of loyalty, unless the office holder acted
               in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the
               action would not harm the company;

          o    an intentional or reckless breach of the duty of care;

          o    an act done with the intent to unlawfully realize personal gain;
               or

          o    a criminal fine or penalty imposed on the office holder.

     In addition, our articles of association provide that, to the extent
permitted by the Israeli Companies Law, we may exculpate an office holder in
advance from liability, in whole or in part, for damages resulting from a breach
of his duty of care to us.

     We have obtained directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit
of our office holders.

     Following approval by our audit committee, board of directors and
shareholders, in 2001 and 2004, we entered into agreements with our office
holders under which we undertook to indemnify and exculpate our office holders.
In connection with our merger with Floware, we have also assumed similar
agreements entered into between Floware and its officer holders. The
indemnification agreements provide that we will indemnify an office holder for
any expenses incurred by the office holder in connection with any claims (as
these terms are defined in the agreements) that fall within one or more
categories of indemnifiable events listed in the agreements, related to any act
or omission of the office holder while serving as an office holder of our
company (or serving or having served, at our request, as an employee,
consultant, office holder or agent of any subsidiary of our company, or any
other corporation or partnership). In addition, under these agreements, we
exempt and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related
to any breach by them of their duty of care to us, to the maximum extent
permitted by law. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or
proceeding involving an office holder where indemnification would be required or
permitted under the indemnification agreements.

     D.   EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 2004, we had 942 employees (including persons who became
our employees as a result of the interWAVE acquisition), of which 379 were
engaged in research and development, 253 in operations, 230 in sales and
marketing and 80 in administration and management. Of our full-time employees,
as of December 31, 2004, 574 were located in Israel, 167 in the United States
and 182 at our other branch offices, listed in Item 4C -- Information on the
Company -- 'Organizational Structure'.

     We consider our relations with our employees to be good and have never
experienced any strikes or work stoppages. Substantially all of our employees
have employment agreements and none are represented by a labor union.

     We are subject to labor laws and regulations in Israel and in other
countries where our employees are located. Although our Israeli employees are
not parties to any collective bargaining agreement, we are subject to certain
provisions of collective bargaining agreements among the Government of Israel,
the General Federation of Labor in Israel and the Coordinating Bureau of
Economic Organizations, including the Industrialists' Association, that are
applicable to our Israeli employees by virtue of expansion orders of the Israeli
Ministry of Labor and Welfare. Israeli labor laws are applicable to all of our
employees in Israel. Those provisions and laws principally concern the length of
the work day, minimum daily wages for workers, procedures for dismissing
employees, determination of severance pay and other conditions of employment.

     We contribute funds on behalf of our employees to an individual insurance
policy known as Managers' Insurance. This policy provides a combination of
savings plan, insurance and severance pay benefits to the insured employee. It
provides for payments to the employee upon retirement or death and secures a
substantial portion of the severance pay, if any, to which the employee is
legally entitled upon termination of employment. Each participating employee
contributes an amount equal to 5% of such employee's base salary, and we
contribute


                                       60


between 13.3% and 15.8% of the employee's base salary. Full-time employees who
are not insured in this way are entitled to a pension fund to which the employee
contributes an amount ranging from 5% to 5.5% of such employee's base salary,
and we contribute an amount ranging from 5% to 14.33% of the employee's base
salary, or alternatively, to a savings account, to which the employee and the
employer each make a monthly contribution of 5% of the employee's base salary.
We also provide our employees with an Education Fund, to which each
participating employee contributes an amount equal to 2.5% of the employee's
base salary, and we contribute an amount of up to 7.5% of the employee's base
salary. We also provide our employees with additional health insurance coverage
for instances of severe illnesses.

     Like all Israeli employers we are required to provide salary increases as
partial compensation for increases in the Israeli consumer price index. The
specific formula for such increases varies according to agreements reached among
the Government of Israel, the Manufacturers' Association and the General
Federation of Labor in Israel. Employees and employers also are required to pay
predetermined sums, which include a contribution to provide a range of social
security benefits.

Management Employment Agreements

     We maintain written employment agreements with substantially all of our key
employees. These agreements provide, among other matters, for monthly salaries,
our contributions to Managers' Insurance and an Education Fund and severance
benefits. Most of our agreements with our key employees are subject to
termination by either party upon the delivery of notice of termination as
provided therein.

     E.   SHARE OWNERSHIP

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership
of our ordinary shares by our directors and executive officers as of June 6,

*    Includes 166,972 options for ordinary shares which are exercisable within
     60 days of date stated above.

     As of June 6, 3005, the directors and executive officers listed above, as a
group, held 4,039,297 options to purchase of our ordinary shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $6.31 with expiration dates ranging from January 2009
to December 2014. The voting rights of our directors and executive officers do
not differ from the voting rights of other holders of our ordinary shares.

Share Option Plans

     As of December 31, 2004 a total of 24,998,651 ordinary shares have been
reserved for issue upon exercise of options granted to our employees, officers,
directors and consultants pursuant to our share option plans. These ordinary
shares have been reserved pursuant to our 2002 Global Share Option Plan, or the
2002 Plan, Key Employee Share Incentive Plan (1994), as amended, Key Employee
Share Incentive Plan (1996), Key Employee Share Incentive Plan (1997), 1999 U.S.
Stock Option Plan, interWAVE's 1994 Stock Option Plan, interWAVE 1999 Stock
Option Plan and Floware's Key Employee Share Incentive Plan (1996).

     Options granted under the share option plans usually vest over a period of
four years. Of the options reserved under the share option plans, options to
purchase 10,484,759 ordinary shares have been exercised, options to purchase
1,757,766 ordinary shares are available for future grant and options to purchase
12,756,127 ordinary shares, including options issued pursuant to the terms of
the Floware merger and interWAVE acquisition, were outstanding as of December
31, 2004, at a weighted average exercise price of $7.57 per share. Unless a
shorter period is specified in the notice of grant or unless the applicable
share option plan has an earlier termination date, each of the 12,756,127
options outstanding expire between eight and ten years from the date of grant.

     In connection with our acquisition of interWAVE, we assumed interWAVE's
1994 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan (the options under which are
referred to as the assumed options). Each assumed option to purchase


                                       61


interWAVE ordinary shares outstanding pursuant to interWAVE's Employee Stock
Option Plan was converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and
conditions as applied to the interWAVE option, to a number of our ordinary
shares equal to the number of interWAVE ordinary shares that the holder of such
interWAVE option was entitled to acquire, multiplied by 0.2978056 ("the ratio"),
at an exercise price per share equal to the former exercise price per share
under the interWAVE option, divided by 0.2978. This ratio reflects the quotient
obtained by dividing the per share consideration of interWAVE by our share
price. For these purposes, our share price means the average closing price of
our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ over the five trading days up to and including
the second trading day preceding the closing. Effective upon the closing of the
acquisition of interWAVE, 25% of the unvested portion of any assumed interWAVE
options accelerated and the remaining unvested options continued to vest
according to the original vesting schedule. In connection with this, outstanding
assumed options to purchase interWAVE ordinary shares were converted into
options to purchase approximately 423,156 of our ordinary shares.

     In addition, in connection with our merger with Floware, each option to
purchase Floware ordinary shares outstanding pursuant to Floware's Employee
Stock Option Plan was converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms
and conditions as applied to the Floware option (subject to any applicable
accelerated vesting or other provisions as were triggered in connection with the
merger), a number of Alvarion ordinary shares equal to the number of Floware
ordinary shares that the holder of such Floware option was entitled to acquire,
multiplied by 0.767 (the exchange ratio in the merger), at an exercise price per
share equal to the former exercise price per share under the Floware option,
divided by 0.767. In connection with the merger, outstanding options to purchase
Floware ordinary shares were converted into options to purchase approximately
5,230,469 of our ordinary shares.

     The share option plans are administered by the board of directors which
designates the optionees, dates of grant, vesting period and the exercise price
of options. Each grantee is responsible for all personal tax consequences of the
grant and exercise the options. Unless otherwise approved by our board of
directors, employees usually may exercise vested options granted under the share
option plans for a period of three months following the date of termination of
their employment with us or any of our subsidiaries and options that have not
vested on the date of termination expire. Under Israeli law, the issuance of
options must be approved by our board of directors and issuance of options to
directors must be approved by the shareholders.

     In September 2002, the board of directors approved an option exchange
program. Under the program, holders of options with exercise prices in excess of
$4.60 were given the opportunity to voluntarily tender unexercised vested and
non-vested stock options previously granted to them, in exchange for replacement
options to be granted at a later date. The exchange offer expired on September
20, 2002. Depending upon the exercise price of the options tendered, those
participants who elected to tender options under the terms of the program
received new options in an amount ranging from 2% to 85% of the number of the
options tendered. As a result of the option exchange program, the amount of
options outstanding was reduced by approximately 3 million. The exercise price
of the new options is $2.02 per share, which was the closing price of our
ordinary shares as reported by the Nasdaq National Market on March 21, 2003, the
last trading day prior to the date of the grant, March 23, 2003.

     The new options were granted under our 2002 Plan, pursuant to which we
reserved an aggregate of 12.5 million ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
options. We reduced the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options under our other existing option plans by approximately 8.3
million ordinary shares.

ITEM 7.   MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     A.   MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our ordinary shares as of June 6, 2005, by each person or entity we
know to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares based
on information provided to us by the holders or disclosed in public filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The voting rights of the shareholders
listed below are not different from the voting rights of our other shareholders.
The percentage of outstanding ordinary shares is based on 58,439,640 ordinary
shares outstanding as of June 6, 2005. Ordinary shares deemed beneficially owned
by virtue of the right of any person or group to acquire such shares within 60
days of the date of this annual report are treated as outstanding only for the
purpose of determining the percent owned by such person or group.

------------
(1)  Aggregate holdings of certain institutional accounts and/or open-end
     investment companies managed by FMR Corp and Fidelity International
     Limited. FMR Corp and Fidelity International Limited are the parent
     companies of various investment advisors that manage institutional accounts
     and/or open-end investment companies.

     As of June 6, 2005, there were 57 holders of our ordinary shares of record
registered with a United States mailing address, including banks, brokers and
nominees. As of June 6, 2005, these holders of record held approximately
55,299,877 ordinary shares representing approximately 95% of our then
outstanding share capital. Because these holders of record include banks,
brokers and nominees, the beneficial owners of these ordinary shares may include
persons who reside outside the United States.

     To the best of our knowledge, we are not directly or indirectly owned or
controlled by another corporation, by any foreign government or by any other
natural or legal person or persons severally or jointly and currently there are
no arrangements that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change in our
control.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     A.   CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Financial Statements required by this item are found at the end of this
annual report, beginning on page F-1.

     Legal Proceedings

     A lawsuit was filed by a former customer of interWAVE on December 8, 2004,
for compensatory damages with respect to certain alleged damages caused by
interWAVE actions in the amount of approximately $4 million. As this claim is
yet in its preliminary stage, it is impractical to predict its outcome. We do
not believe it will have a material effect on our financial results nor could
our legal advisors estimate the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome of this
matter.

     During 2001 a purported Class Action (the "Action") lawsuit was filed
against interWAVE asserting failure to disclose certain alleged improper actions
by various underwriters and interWAVE's officers and directors under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 followed by
interWAVE's initial public offering. A stipulation of Settlement (the
"Settlement") has been submitted to the Court for preliminary approval. Under
the Settlement interWAVE will be dismissed of all claims in exchange for a
contingent payment guarantee by the insurance companies responsible for insuring
interWAVE as an issuer. There is no guarantee that the settlement will become
effective as it is subject to certain terms. In that case under which settlement
will not occur, we are of the opinion that it has a good defense against the
action however, the litigation results can not be predicted at this point.

     Except as otherwise disclosed in this annual report, we are not a party to
any material litigation or arbitration, either in Israel or any other
jurisdiction, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or
arbitration that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.


                                       63


Export Sales

     Export sales constitute a significant portion of our sales. In 2004, export
sales were approximately $199.2 million constituting approximately 99.0% of our
total sales. For a more detailed discussion regarding the allocation of our
revenues by geographic regions based on the location of our customers, see "Item
5 -- Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -- Operating Results."

Dividend Policy

     We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We
do not anticipate paying any cash dividend on our ordinary shares in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings to finance
operations and expand our business

     B.   SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

     Except as otherwise disclosed in this annual report, no significant change
has occurred since December 31, 2004.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     A.   SHARE CAPITAL

     Not applicable.

     B.   MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

     The following is a summary description of certain provisions of our
memorandum of association and articles of association:

     Our articles of association permits us to engage in any lawful business.
Our purpose is to operate in accordance with business considerations to generate
profits (provided, however, that we may donate reasonable amounts to worthy
causes, as our board of directors may determine in its discretion, even if such
donations are not within the framework of business considerations).

     Our articles of association permit us to enter into a business transaction
with any of the directors of our company or enter into a business transaction
with a third party in which a director has a personal interest, subject to
compliance with the Israeli Companies Law. See "Item 6 -- Directors, Senior
Management and Employees -- Board Practices."

     Directors who do not hold other positions in our company and who are not
external directors may not receive any compensation from our company, unless
such compensation is approved by our shareholders, subject to applicable law.


                                       65


     Our board of directors may, from time to time, in its discretion, cause us
to borrow or secure the payment of any sum or sums of money for our purposes, on
such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate.

     Shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or bonus shares, upon the
recommendation of our board of directors and resolution of our shareholders. The
shareholders entitled to receive dividends or bonus shares are those who are
registered in the shareholders register on the date of the resolution approving
the distribution or allotment, or on such later date, as may be determined in
such resolution. Any right to a declared dividend by us to our shareholders
terminates after seven years from our declaration of the dividend if such
dividend has not been claimed by the shareholder within such time. After seven
years the unclaimed dividend will revert back to us.

     Every shareholder has one vote for each share held by such shareholder of
record. With certain exceptions, no shareholder is entitled to vote at any
general meeting (or be counted as a part of the lawful quorum thereat), unless
all calls and other sums then payable in respect of his shares have been paid.

     A shareholder seeking to vote with respect to a resolution that requires
that the majority of such resolution's adoption include at least a certain
percentage of all those not having a personal interest (as defined in the
Israeli Companies Law) in it, must notify us at least two business days prior to
the date of the general meeting, whether or not he has a personal interest in
the resolution, as a condition for his right to vote and be counted with respect
to such resolution.

     Upon our liquidation, the liquidator, with the approval of a general
meeting of the shareholders, may distribute all or part of the property to our
shareholders, and may deposit any part of such property with trustees in favour
of the shareholders, as deemed appropriate by the liquidator.

     Rights attached to our ordinary shares, may be modified or abrogated by a
resolution adopted at a general meeting of the shareholders by more than 50% of
the shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting, or an "ordinary
majority," other than certain rights relating to the election of directors that
may be modified or abrogated only with the approval of more than 75% of the
shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting.

     An annual general meeting of our shareholders, or "annual meeting," must be
held once in every calendar year, within a period of not more than 15 months
from the preceding annual meeting, either within or outside of Israel. All
general meetings of our shareholders other than annual meetings are called
"extraordinary meetings." Our board of directors has discretion over when to
convene an extraordinary meeting. However, our board of directors must convene
an extraordinary meeting upon demand by the lesser number of: (i) any two
directors of our company; ora quarter of the directors of our company, whichever
is lower; or (ii) upon the demand of one or more shareholders holding alone or
together at least five percent of the issued share capital of our company. Our
board of directors, upon demand to convene an extraordinary meeting, is required
to announce the convening of the general meeting within 21 days from the receipt
of the demand, provided, however, that the date fixed for the extraordinary
meeting may not be more than 35 days from the publication date of the
announcement of the extraordinary meeting, or such other period as may be
permitted by the Israeli Companies Law or the regulations thereunder.

     Directors, other than external directors, are elected, unless specifically
determined otherwise, until the third annual general shareholders' meeting
following the meeting at which such directors were elected. Any director may be
removed from his office by way of a resolution adopted by the vote of the
holders of 75% of the voting power represented at a meeting.

     The shareholders who are entitled to participate and vote at a general
meeting are those shareholders who are registered in our shareholders register
on the date determined by our board of directors, provided that such date not be
more than 40 days, nor less than 21 days, prior to the date of the general
meeting, except as otherwise permitted by the regulations under the Israeli
Companies Law. Shareholders entitled to attend a general meeting are entitled to
receive notice of such meeting at least 21 days prior to the date fixed for such
meeting, unless a shorter period is permitted by law.

     There are no limitations imposed by our Articles of Association or the
Israeli Companies Law on the right to own our shares including the rights of
non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights of our
shares, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war
with Israel.

     Certain provisions of Israeli corporate and tax law may have the effect of
delaying, preventing or making more difficult a merger or other acquisition of
our company, as detailed in "Item 3 -- Key Information -- Risk Factors


                                       66


-- Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel". Provisions of Israeli law may
delay, prevent or make difficult a merger with or an acquisition of us, which
could prevent a change of control and therefore depress the market price of our
ordinary shares.

     The information contained under the heading "Description of Ordinary
Shares" in our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration Number
333-11572) is incorporated herein by reference.

     Our transfer agent and registrar is the American Stock Transfer & Trust Co.
at address 59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038.

     C.   MATERIAL CONTRACTS

     In December 9th, 2004 Alvarion Mobile, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Alvarion Ltd. amalgamated with interWAVE Communications, Ltd. As a result of the
amalgamation, Alvarion Mobile, Inc. continued as the surviving company and
interWAVE Communications Ltd.'s separate existence ceased. Upon the closing,
Alvarion paid interWAVE's shareholders $4.18 for each interWAVE share, and a
total consideration of $47.9 million.

     Except as otherwise disclosed in this annual report, we have no other
material contracts.

     D.   EXCHANGE CONTROLS

     Israeli law and regulations do not impose any material foreign exchange
restrictions on non-Israeli holders of our ordinary shares.

     Dividends, if any, paid to our shareholders, and any amounts payable upon
our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale
in Israel of our ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, may be paid in
non-Israeli currency or, if paid in Israeli currency, may be converted into
freely repatriable U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time
of conversion.

     However legislation remains in effect pursuant to which currency controls
can be imposed by administrative action at any time.

     E.   TAXATION

General

     The following is a discussion of Israeli and United States tax consequences
material to our shareholders. To the extent that the discussion is based on new
tax legislation that has not been subject to judicial or administrative
interpretation, the views expressed in the discussion might not be accepted by
the tax authorities in question. The discussion is not intended, and should not
be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and does not exhaust all
possible tax considerations.

     Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors as to
the United States, Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of ordinary shares, including, in particular, the effect of any
foreign, state or local taxes.

Israeli Taxation of Our Shareholders

     Capital Gains Tax

     Israeli law imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of capital assets. The
law distinguishes between inflationary surplus and real gain. The inflationary
surplus is a portion of the total capital gain that is equivalent to the
increase of the relevant asset's purchase price that is attributable to the
increase in the Israeli consumer price index between the date of purchase and
the date of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the
inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus accumulated from and after
December 31, 1993 is exempt from any capital gains tax in Israel. Real gain
accrued before January 1, 2003 is added to ordinary income, which generally is
taxed at ordinary rates of up to 49% for individuals and 35% for corporations,
while real gain accrued on or after January 1, 2003, in accordance with the
provisions of the recent tax reform discussed below, generally is taxed at a
capital


                                       67


gains rate of 25% for both individuals and corporations. The allocation of the
real gain accruals between the periods before and after January 1, 2003 is
calculated on a linear basis proportionately to the lengths of such periods.

     Real gain accrued before January 1, 2003 on sales of our ordinary shares
purchased in our initial public offering or thereafter, other than sales by
entities that are subject to the Inflationary Adjustments Law, as discussed
below, generally is exempt from Israeli capital gains tax. On January 1, 2003,
the Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (Amendment No. 132),
5762-2002, known as the "tax reform," came into effect. The tax reform and the
regulations promulgated thereunder include, among other things, the imposition
of capital gains tax at a rate of 15% on gains derived from and after January 1,
2003 by Israeli residents, from the sale of shares in Israeli companies publicly
traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange or on a recognized stock exchange outside
of Israel. This tax rate does not apply to: (1) dealers in securities, (2)
shareholders that report in accordance with the Inflationary Adjustment Law, (3)
shareholders who acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering, (4)
the sale of shares to a relative; or (5) shareholders claiming a deduction for
financing expenses in connection with the sold securities. The tax basis of
shares acquired prior to January 1, 2003 will be determined in accordance with
the average closing share price in the three trading days preceding January 1,
2003. However, a request may be made to the tax authorities to consider the
actual adjusted cost of the shares as the tax basis if it is higher than such
average price. Non-Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital
gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares publicly traded on a
recognized stock exchange or regulated market outside of Israel, provided such
shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to an initial public offering
and provided such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment of such
shareholders in Israel. The provisions of the tax reform do not affect the
exemption from capital gains tax for gains accrued before January 1, 2003, as
described in the previous paragraph.

     Furthermore, pursuant to the Convention Between the Government of the
United States of America and the Government of the State of Israel with Respect
to Taxes on Income, as amended (the U.S.-Israel tax treaty), the sale, exchange
or disposition of ordinary shares that are held as a capital asset by a person
who qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the
U.S.-Israel tax treaty and who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to
such resident by the U.S.-Israel tax treaty (Treaty U.S. Resident), generally
will not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax unless such Treaty U.S.
Resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our
voting power during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale,
exchange or disposition. A sale, exchange or disposition of ordinary shares by a
Treaty U.S. Resident who holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10%
or more of our voting power at any time during such preceding 12-month period
would be subject to such Israeli tax, to the extent applicable.

     Special Provisions Relating to Taxation Under Inflationary Conditions

     The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance and regulations promulgated there under
allow "Foreign-Invested Companies," which maintain their accounts in U.S.
dollars in compliance with the regulations published by the Israeli Minister of
Finance, to base their tax returns on their operating results as reflected in
the dollar financials statements or to adjust their tax returns based on
exchange rate changes rather than changes in the Israeli CPI, in lieu of the
principles set forth by the Inflationary Adjustments Law. For these purposes, a
Foreign-Invested Company is a company, more than 25% of whose share capital, in
terms of rights to profits, voting and appointment of directors, and of whose
combined share and loan capital is held by persons who are not residents of
Israel. A company that elects to measure its results for tax purposes based on
the dollar exchange rate cannot change that election for a period of three years
following the election. We believe that we qualify as a Foreign Investment
Company within the meaning of the Inflationary Adjustments Law. We have elected
to measure our results for tax purposes based on the U.S. dollar exchange rate
from 2003 and forth.

     Prior to 2003 we measured our results for tax purposes based on the changes
in the Israeli CPI as set forth by the Inflationary Adjustments Law. The Income
Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985, or the Inflationary Adjustments Law,
represents an attempt to overcome the problems presented to a traditional tax
system by an economy undergoing rapid inflation. The Inflationary Adjustments
Law is highly complex. The features that are material to us may be described as
follows:

     A special tax adjustment for the preservation of equity whereby certain
corporate assets are classified broadly into fixed (inflation resistant) assets
and non-fixed (soft) assets. Where a company's equity, as defined in such law,
exceeds the depreciated cost of its fixed assets, the company may take a
deduction from taxable income that reflects


                                       68


the effect of the annual rate of inflation on such excess, up to a ceiling of
70% of taxable income in any single tax year, with the unused portion carried
forward on a linked basis. If the depreciated cost of fixed assets exceeds a
company's equity, then such excess multiplied by the annual rate of inflation is
added to taxable income.

     Subject to limitations set forth in the Inflationary Adjustments Law,
depreciation deductions on fixed assets and losses carried forward are adjusted
for inflation based on the increase in the Israeli consumer price index.

     Gains on sales of traded securities are taxable under the Inflationary
Adjustments Law.

     Taxation of Non-Resident Holders of Our Shares

     Non-residents of Israel are subject to income tax on income accrued or
derived from sources in Israel or received in Israel. Such sources of income
include passive income such as dividends, royalties, interest and capital gain,
as well as non-passive income from business conducted in Israel. Unless a
different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder's
country of residence, dividends, other than bonus shares or stock dividends, not
generated by an Approved Enterprise are subject to income tax at the rate of
25%, which is withheld at source. Under the U.S.-Israel tax treaty, these
distributions to a Treaty U.S. Resident are subject to income tax at a maximum
rate of 25%, or 12.5% if the Treaty U.S. resident is a U.S. corporation and
holds at least 10% of our voting power, in general, in the current and preceding
tax years. Dividends distributed from income generated by an Approved Enterprise
are subject to 15% tax, which is withheld at source.

     For information with respect to the applicability of Israeli capital gains
taxes to the sale of our ordinary shares by United States residents, see "--
Israeli Taxation of our Shareholders -- Capital Gains Tax," above.

     United States Federal Income Tax Considerations with Respect to the
Ownership and Disposition of Our Ordinary Shares

     The following is a discussion of the material United States federal income
tax consequences applicable to "U.S. Holders" (as defined below) who
beneficially own our ordinary shares. The discussion is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, and existing administrative rulings and
court decisions in effect as of the date of this annual report, all of which are
subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. For purposes of
this discussion, it is assumed that U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares hold
such stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code,
that is, generally for investment. This discussion does not address all aspects
of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular
U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares in light of his or her circumstances or to a
U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares subject to special treatment under United
States federal income tax law, including, without limitation:

          o    banks, other financial institutions, "financial services
               entities," insurance companies or mutual funds;

          o    broker-dealers, including dealers in securities or currencies, or
               taxpayers that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of
               accounting;

          o    shareholders who hold our ordinary shares as part of a hedge,
               straddle, or other risk reduction, constructive sale or
               conversion transaction;

          o    tax-exempt entities;

          o    persons who have a functional currency other than the U.S.
               dollar;

          o    taxpayers that are subject to the alternative minimum tax
               provisions of the Code;

          o    persons who have owned at any time or who own, directly,
               indirectly, constructively or by attribution, ten percent or more
               of the total voting power of our share capital;

          o    partnerships, other passthrough entities, or persons who hold our
               ordinary shares in a partnership or other passthrough entity;

          o    certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United
               States; and

          o    shareholders who acquired our ordinary shares pursuant to the
               exercise of an employee stock option or right or otherwise as
               compensation.


                                       69


     In addition, not discussed is the application of either: (i) foreign, state
or local tax laws on the ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares; or
(ii) United States federal and state estate and/or gift taxation.

     As used in this section, the term "U.S. Holder" refers to any beneficial
owner of our ordinary shares that is any of the following:

          o    a citizen or resident of the United States for United States
               federal income tax purposes;

          o    a corporation or partnership (or other entity treated as a
               corporation or partnership under United States federal income tax
               purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the
               laws of the United States or of any State or the District of
               Columbia;

          o    an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for
               United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
               source;

          o    a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to
               exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust
               and one or more United States persons have the authority to
               control all of such trust's substantial decisions; or (ii) that
               has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury
               regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

     Material aspects of U.S. federal income tax relevant to a holder of our
ordinary shares that is not a U.S. Holder (a "Non-U.S. Holder") are also
discussed below.

     Each holder of our ordinary shares is advised to consult his or her own tax
advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences to him or her of
purchasing, holding or disposing of our ordinary shares, including the
applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other
tax laws in his or her particular circumstances.

     Dividend Distributions

     Subject to the discussion below under the heading "Passive Foreign
Investment Company Status," to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated
earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax
principles, a distribution made with respect to our ordinary shares (including
the amount of any Israeli withholding tax thereon) will be includible for United
States federal income tax purposes in the income of a U.S. Holder as a taxable
dividend. Dividends that are received by U.S. Holders that are individuals,
estates or trusts will be taxed at the rate applicable to long-term capital
gains (a maximum rate of 15%), provided that such dividends meet the requirement
of "qualified dividend income" as defined by the Code. Dividends that fail to
meet such requirements, and dividends received by corporate U.S. Holders, are
taxed at ordinary income rates. No dividend received by a U.S. Holder will be a
qualified dividend (1) if the U.S. Holder held the ordinary share with respect
to which the dividend was paid for less than 61 days during the 121-day period
beginning on the date that is 60 days before the ex-dividend date with respect
to such dividend, excluding for this purpose, under the rules of Code section
246(c), any period during which the U.S. Holder has an option to sell, is under
a contractual obligation to sell, has made and not closed a short sale of, is
the grantor of a deep-in-the-money or otherwise nonqualified option to buy, or
has otherwise diminished its risk of loss by holding other positions with
respect to, such ordinary share (or substantially identical securities); or (2)
to the extent that the U.S. Holder is under an obligation (pursuant to a short
sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in
property substantially similar or related to the ordinary share with respect to
which the dividend is paid. If we were to be a "passive foreign investment
company" (as such term is defined in the Code) for any year, dividends paid on
our ordinary shares in such year or in the following year would not be qualified
dividends. In addition, a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be able to take a
qualified dividend into account in determining its deductible investment
interest (which is generally limited to its net investment income) only if it
elects to do so; in such case the dividend will be taxed at ordinary income
rates.

     To the extent that such distribution exceeds our earnings and profits and
provided that we were not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, such
distribution will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of
the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in our ordinary shares and thereafter as
taxable capital gain. Dividends paid by us generally will not be eligible for
the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.
Dividends paid in a currency other than the U.S. dollar will be includible in
income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount based on the spot rate of
exchange on the date the distribution is included in income, without reduction


                                       70


for any Israeli taxes withheld at source, regardless of whether the payment is
in fact converted into U.S. dollars on such date. A U.S. Holder who receives a
foreign currency distribution and converts the foreign currency into U.S.
dollars subsequent to receipt will have foreign exchange gain or loss, based on
any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the foreign currency against
the U.S. dollar, which will generally be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

     Subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Code, U.S.
Holders generally will be able to elect to claim a credit against their United
States federal income tax liability for any Israeli withholding tax deducted
from dividends received in respect of our ordinary shares. For purposes of
calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our ordinary shares will
be treated as income from sources outside the United States and generally will
constitute foreign source "passive income" for U.S. foreign tax purposes or, in
the case of a financial services entity, "financial services income" (and for
tax years beginning after December 31, 2006, as "general category income"). In
lieu of claiming a tax credit, U.S. Holders may instead claim a deduction for
foreign taxes withheld, subject to certain limitations.

     The rules relating to the determination of the amount of foreign income
taxes that may be claimed as foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent a
credit would be available.

     Sale or Exchange

     Subject to the discussion below under the heading "Passive Foreign
Investment Company Status," upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our
ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss for United
States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between
the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the disposition of our ordinary
shares and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares, which is
usually the U.S. dollar cost of the ordinary shares. Such gain or loss generally
will be long-term capital gain or loss if our ordinary shares have been held for
more than one year on the date of the disposition. The deductibility of a
capital loss recognized on the sale or exchange of ordinary shares is subject to
limitations. Any gain or loss generally will be treated as United States source
income or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. In addition, a
U.S. Holder who receives foreign currency upon the sale or exchange of our
ordinary shares and converts the foreign currency into U.S. dollars subsequent
to receipt will have foreign exchange gain or loss, based on any appreciation or
depreciation in the value of the foreign currency against the U.S. dollar, which
will generally be United States source ordinary income or loss.

     Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

     Generally a foreign corporation is treated as a PFIC for United States
federal income tax purposes if either:

          o    75% or more of its gross income (including the pro rata gross
               income of any company (U.S. or foreign) of which such corporation
               is considered to own 25% or more of the ordinary shares by value)
               for the taxable year is passive income; or

          o    50% or more of the average value of its gross assets (including
               the pro rata fair market value of the assets of any company in
               which such corporation is considered to own 25% or more of the
               ordinary shares by value) during the taxable year produce or are
               held for the production of passive income.

     As a result of the combination of our substantial holdings of cash, cash
equivalents and securities and the decline in the market price of our ordinary
shares from its historical highs, there is a risk that we could be classified as
a PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes. Based upon our market
capitalization during 2004 and each year prior to 2001, we do not believe that
we were a PFIC for any such year and an independent valuation of our assets as
of the end of each quarter of 2001 and based upon our valuation of our assets
for 2002 and 2003, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for 2001, 2002 or 2003
despite the relatively low market price of our ordinary shares during much of
those years. We cannot assure you, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or
the courts would agree with our conclusion if they were to consider our
situation. There is no assurance that we will not become a PFIC in a subsequent
year.


                                       71


     If we were deemed to be a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S.
Holder held our shares and such holder failed to make either a "QEF election" or
a "mark-to-market election" (as described below) for the first taxable year
during which we were a PFIC and the U.S. Holder held our shares:

          o    gain recognized (including gain deemed recognized if our ordinary
               shares are used as security for a loan) by the U.S. Holder upon
               the disposition of, as well as income recognized upon receiving
               certain distributions in respect of, our ordinary shares would be
               taxable as ordinary income;

          o    the U.S. Holder would be required to allocate such dividend
               income and/or disposition gain ratably over such holder's entire
               holding period for our ordinary shares; the U.S. Holder's income
               for the current taxable year would include (as ordinary income)
               amounts allocated to the current year, i.e., the year of the
               dividend payment or disposition, and to any period prior to the
               first day of the first taxable year for which we were a PFIC;

          o    the amount allocated to each year other than (i) the year of the
               dividend payment or disposition and (ii) any year prior to our
               becoming a PFIC, would be subject to tax at the highest
               individual or corporate marginal tax rate, as applicable, in
               effect for that year, and an interest charge would be imposed
               with respect to the resulting tax liability;

          o    the U.S. Holder would be required to file an annual return on IRS
               Form 8621 regarding distributions received in respect of, and
               gain recognized on dispositions of, our ordinary shares; and

          o    any U.S. Holder who acquired our ordinary shares upon the death
               of a U.S. Holder would not receive a step-up of the income tax
               basis to fair market value for such shares. Instead, such U.S.
               Holder would have a tax basis equal to the decedent's basis, if
               lower than the fair market value.

     Although a determination as to a corporation's PFIC status is made
annually, an initial determination that a corporation is a PFIC for any taxable
year generally will cause the above-described consequences to apply for all
future years to U.S. Holders who held shares in the corporation at any time
during a year when the corporation was a PFIC and who made neither a QEF
election nor a mark-to-market election (as discussed below) with respect to such
shares with their tax return for the year that included the last day of the
corporation's first taxable year as a PFIC. This will be true even if the
corporation ceases to be a PFIC in later years. However, with respect to a PFIC
during the U.S. Holder's holding period that does not make any distributions or
deemed distributions, the above tax treatment would apply only to U.S. Holders
who realize gain on their disposition of shares in the PFIC.

     Generally, if a U.S. Holder makes a valid QEF election with respect to our
ordinary shares:

          o    the U.S. Holder would be required for each taxable year for which
               we are a PFIC to include in income such holder's pro-rata share
               of our: (i) net ordinary earnings as ordinary income; and (ii)
               net capital gain as long-term capital gain, in each case computed
               under U.S. federal income tax principles, even if such earnings
               or gains have not been distributed, unless the shareholder makes
               an election to defer this tax liability and pays an interest
               charge;

          o    the U.S. Holder would not be required under these rules to
               include any amount in income for any taxable year during which we
               do not have ordinary earnings or net capital gain; and

          o    the U.S. Holder would not be required under these rules to
               include any amount in income for any taxable year for which we
               are not a PFIC.

     The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis. Thus, any
U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares can make its own decision whether to make a
QEF election. A QEF election applies to all of our ordinary shares held or
subsequently acquired by an electing U.S. Holder and can be revoked only with
the consent of the IRS. A shareholder makes a QEF election by attaching a
completed IRS Form 8621, using the information provided in the PFIC annual
information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return. In
order to permit our shareholders to make a QEF election, we must supply them
with certain information. We will supply U.S. Holders with the information
needed to report income and gain pursuant to the QEF election in the event that
we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year and will supply such additional
information as the IRS may require in order to enable U.S. Holders to make the
QEF election. It should be noted that U.S. Holders may not make a QEF election
with


                                       72


respect to warrants or rights to acquire our ordinary shares, and that certain
classes of investors (for example, consolidated groups and grantor trusts) are
subject to special rules regarding the QEF election.

     Under certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder may also obtain treatment
similar to that afforded a shareholder who has made a timely QEF election by
making an election in a year subsequent to the first year during the U.S.
Holder's holding period that we are classified as a PFIC to treat such holder's
interest in our company as subject to a deemed sale on the first day of the
first QEF year for an amount equal to its fair market value and recognizing
gain, but not loss, on such deemed sale in accordance with the general PFIC
rules, including the interest charge provisions, described above and thereafter
treating such interest in our company as an interest in a QEF. In addition,
under certain circumstances U.S. Holders may make a retroactive QEF election,
but may be required to file a protective statement currently to preserve their
ability to make a retroactive QEF election. U.S. Holders should consult their
tax advisors regarding the advisability of filing a protective statement.

     Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of shares in a PFIC can elect to mark the
shares to market annually, recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year the
shares are held, as well as on the disposition of the shares, an amount equal to
the difference between the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the PFIC stock
and its fair market value. Ordinary loss is recognized only to the extent of net
mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the U.S. Holder under the
election in prior taxable years. As with the QEF election, a U.S. Holder who
makes a mark-to-market election would not be subject to the deemed ratable
allocations of gain, the interest charge, and the denial of basis step-up at
death (described above). A mark-to-market election applies for so long as our
ordinary shares are "marketable," and is irrevocable without obtaining the
consent of the IRS and would continue to apply even in years that we were no
longer a PFIC. However, under Treasury regulations, a U.S. Holder who makes a
mark-to-market election would not include mark-to-market gain or loss for any
taxable year in which we are not a PFIC.

     U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares are urged to consult their tax advisors
about the PFIC rules, including the advisability, procedure and timing of making
a QEF election, in connection with their holding of our ordinary shares,
including warrants or rights to acquire our ordinary shares.

     Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders of Our Ordinary Shares

     Except as described in "Information Reporting and Backup Withholding"
below, a Non-U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares will not be subject to U.S.
federal income or withholding tax on the payment of dividends on, and the
proceeds from the disposition of, our ordinary shares, unless:

          o    such item is effectively connected with the conduct by the
               Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States and,
               in the case of a resident of a country which has a treaty with
               the United States, such item is attributable to a permanent
               establishment or, in the case of an individual, a fixed place of
               business, in the United States,

          o    the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who holds our ordinary
               shares as a capital asset and is present in the United States for
               183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and does
               not qualify for an exemption, or

          o    the Non-U.S. Holder is subject to tax pursuant to the provisions
               of United States tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates.

     Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

     U.S. Holders generally are subject to information reporting requirements
with respect to dividends paid in the United States on our ordinary shares. In
addition, U.S. holders of our ordinary shares are subject to backup withholding
(currently at a rate of 28%) upon any dividends paid in the United States on our
ordinary shares, unless they:

          o    furnish a correct taxpayer identification number and certify that
               they are not subject to backup withholding on an IRS Form W-9; or

          o    provide proof that they are otherwise exempt from backup
               withholding.


                                       73


     U.S. Holders are subject to information reporting on proceeds paid from the
sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of our ordinary shares and also
to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on such proceeds unless the
U.S. Holder provides an IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption.

     Non-U.S. Holders generally are not subject to information reporting or
back-up withholding with respect to dividends paid on, or upon the disposition
of, our ordinary shares, provided that such Non-U.S. Holder provides a taxpayer
identification number, certifies to its foreign status, or otherwise establishes
an exemption.

     Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup
withholding is allowable as a credit against the U.S. or Non-U.S. Holder's
United States federal income tax liability, provided that such holder provides
the requisite information to the Internal Revenue Service.

     F.   DIVIDENDS AND PAYING AGENTS

     G.   STATEMENT BY EXPERTS

     Not applicable.

     H.   DOCUMENTS ON DISPLAY

     We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to foreign private issuers and fulfil the
obligation with respect to such requirements by filing reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt
from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of
proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are
exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions contained
in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the
Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as United States
companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. You may read
and copy any document we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
without charge at the Securities and Exchange Commission's public reference room
at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of such material may
be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Branch of the Securities and
Exchange Commission at such address, at prescribed rates. Please call the
Securities and Exchange Commission at l-800-SEC-0330 for further information on
the public reference room. A copy of each report submitted in accordance with
applicable United States law is also available for public review at our
principal executive offices.

     In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an Internet
website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements,
information statements and other material that are filed through the Securities
and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval, or
EDGAR, system. We began filing our reports through the EDGAR system in November
2002.

     The Israeli Securities Authority maintains an Internet website at
http://www.isa.gov.il that contains reports proxy statements, information
statements and other material that are filed through the electronic disclosure
system (MAGNA). We began filing our reports through the MAGNA system in August
2003.

     I.   SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

     Not applicable.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are exposed to financial market risk associated with changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we use derivative financial
instruments. The majority of our revenues and expenses are generated in U.S.
dollars. A portion of our expenses, however, are denominated in NIS. During
2004, in order to protect ourselves against the volatility of future cash flows
caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, we used currency forward contracts
and put and call options. We hedge the majority of our forecasted expenses
denominated in NIS. During


                                       74


the year ended December 31, 2004 we recognized gains of $407,000 as a result of
these derivatives. All amounts have been included in salary expenses in the
statement of operations. Our hedging program reduces, but does not eliminate,
the impact of foreign currency rate movements. We have, based on our past
experience, concluded that there is no material foreign exchange rate exposure.

     Our investment portfolio includes held to maturity marketable securities.
The contractual cash flows of these investments are either guaranteed by the
U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government or were issued by highly
rated corporations. Since we generally do not intend to sell these securities
before their maturity date, we do not attempt to reduce our exposure to changes
in interest rates.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF
         PROCEEDS

          A. to D. Not applicable.

     E.   USE OF PROCEEDS

     The effective date of the registration statement (No. 333-11572) for our
initial public offering of our ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share,
was March 22, 2000. The offering commenced on March 23, 2000, and terminated
after the sale of all the securities registered. The managing underwriter of the
offering was CIBC World Markets. We registered 5,750,000 ordinary shares in the
offering, including shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's
over-allotment option. We sold all of the 5,750,000 ordinary shares at an
aggregate offering price of $115 million ($20.00 per share). Under the terms of
the offering, we incurred underwriting discounts of approximately $8 million. We
also incurred other expenses of approximately $3.2 million in connection with
the offering. None of the expenses consisted of amounts paid directly or
indirectly to any of our directors, officers, general partners or their
associates, any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity
securities, or any of our affiliates. The net proceeds that we received as a
result of the offering were approximately $104 million. None of the net proceeds
was paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers, or their
associates, any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity
securities, or any of our affiliates. From March 23, 2000 to December 31, 2004
the net offering proceeds were used to finance the continued growth including
acquisitions of our business and for general corporate purposes.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31,
2004, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified by
the SEC's rules and forms.

     There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
identified with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the period covered
by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

     The following is a summary of the fees billed to us for audit, audit
related and non-audit services provided by Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer to us
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004:



Fee Category                                              2004 Fees    2003 Fees
------------                                              ---------    ---------
                                                                  
Audit Fees .............................................   $172,500     $ 97,537
Audit-Related Fees .....................................   $ 71,500     $ 55,850
Tax Fees ...............................................   $105,200     $ 24,424
                                                           --------     --------
Total Fees .............................................   $349,200     $177,811


     Audit Fees: Consists of the aggregate fees billed for professional services
rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and services that are
normally provided by Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer in connection with statutory
and regulatory filings or engagements.

     Audit Related Fees: Consists of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and
related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or
review of our financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." For
2004, these services primarily consist of due diligence services related to the
interWAVE acquisition. For 2003 these services primarily consist of advice and
consultation for relocation related issues and due diligence services related to
the InnoWave acquisition.

     Tax Fees: Consists of the aggregate fees billed for professional services
rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include
assistance regarding international and Israeli tax services.

     All Other Fees: Consists of the aggregate fees billed for products and
services other than the services reported above. We did not have such services
in 2004 and 2003.

     Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy for pre-approval of audit and
non-audit services. Under the policy, the Audit Committee Proposed services
either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case
services by the Audit Committee ("general pre-approval") or they may require the
specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee ("specific pre-approval"). The
Audit Committee employs a combination of these two approaches. Unless a type of
service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval
by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. The
term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval,
unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise.
The Audit Committee reviews annually and pre-approves the services that may be
provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from
the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to or subtracts from the list of
general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent
determinations. Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to
be provided by the independent auditor are to be established annually by the
Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require
specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

[ERNST & YOUNG LOGO]

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

                             To the Shareholders of

                                  ALVARION LTD.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alvarion
Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to
perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our
audit 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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides 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
the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S
generally accepted accounting principles.

          assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated
          fair values at the date of acquisition.

     The amount of the excess cost attributable to current technology of two
     products -- the MGW and eMGW is $1,072 and was determined using the Income
     Approach on the basis of the present value of cash flows attributable to
     the current technology over expected future life.

     The value assigned to the customer relations amounted to $500. The
     Company's customer relations have been valued using the Income Approach.
     The valuation of the customer relations derives mostly from long standing
     relationships with customers with no contracts.

     The excess of the cost of $991 over the net amounts assigned to assets
     acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. An acquired
     workforce that does not meet the separability criteria has been included in
     the amount recognized as goodwill.

     The amounts allocated to intangible assets other than goodwill are
     amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization
     period of 6.8 years, ranging between three and a half to eight years (see
     also Note 2k).

     The operations of InnoWave are included in the consolidated statements
     since April 1, 2003.

     The unaudited pro forma information below assumes that the acquisition had
     been consummated on January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2003 and includes the
     effect of amortization of intangible assets from that date. This data is

d.   Acquisition of interWAVE Communications International, Ltd.:

     On December 9, 2004, the Company entered into an amalgamation agreement
     with interWAVE Communications International, Ltd. ("interWAVE") a publicly
     traded company pursuant to the terms of which the Company acquired
     interWave for an aggregate purchase price of $50,783. The purchase price
     consists of a cash payment of $47,688, fair value of $1,651 related to
     320,826 options granted to InterWAVE's employees in exchange for their
     previously held vested options and $1,444 acquisition related costs.

     interWAVE was a provider of compact mobile network equipment and services,
     primarily aimed at low density markets in developing regions, as well as
     specialty vertical applications.

     The acquisition of interWAVE provides a complementary voice and data
     solution for both fixed and mobile operators in developing regions of the
     world, enlarges and strengthens the Company's diversified customer base and
     sales channels, and increases the Company's technical expertise in design
     and deployment of mobile systems.

     The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
     accounting as determined in SFAS No.141. Accordingly, the purchase price
     has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based
     on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.

     The results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial
     statements since December 9, 2004.

     The allocation period was closed in March 2005, when the Company determined
     that it is no longer waiting for information, which is known to be
     available or obtainable in order to properly identify and measure the fair
     value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

     The allocation of the intangibles assets was determined based on appraisals
     performed by an independent third party using several valuation approaches.

     The amount allocated to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") of
     the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and a certain GSM technology was
     determined using the Income Approach. These technologies were considered to
     have no alternative future use other than the technological indications for
     which they were in development and no technological feasibility had been
     established. Accordingly, this amount was expensed in the consolidated
     statement of operations, upon consummation of the acquisition in accordance
     with FASB Interpretation No. 4, "Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to
     Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method" ("FIN 4").

     The amount of the excess cost attributable to current technology relates to
     GSM technology, other than the technology that was identified as IPR&D, was
     determined using the Income Approach on the basis of the present value of
     cash flows attributable to the current GSM technology and is amortized on a
     straight-line basis over expected future life of seven years. A seven year
     period was estimated based upon duration of the cash flow associated with
     the existing technology and managements estimates of its useful life.

NOTE 1: - GENERAL (Continued)

     The value assigned to the customer relations was determined using the
     Income Approach. This valuation is based upon backlog at the date of
     acquisition, historical revenues by customer and customer renewal rates,
     and is amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. A two-year period
     was estimated based upon a 50% customer survival factor.

     The value of tradenames and trademarks was based upon cost to generate.
     This cost was estimated based upon the historical advertising and promotion
     spending over the last two years, pertaining to the GSM product line and is
     amortized on a straight-line basis over two years based upon the expected
     transition time from the legacy hardware to the next generation hardware.

     The excess of the cost of $47,019 over the net of the amounts assigned to
     assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. An
     acquired workforce of $3,249, which did not meet the separability criteria
     has been included in the amount assigned to goodwill.

     The unaudited pro forma information below assumes that the acquisition had
     been consummated on January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2004, includes the
     effect of amortization of intangible assets and does not include the IPR&D
     write off from that date. This data is presented for information purposes
     only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations
     or the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition taken

e.   Concentration of other risks

     During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 one of the Company's
     customers, a large operator in Latin America (the "Operator") accounted for
     approximately 14% and 31% of the Company's annual revenues (see Note 14b).

     A loss of the Operator as the Company's customer or a significant reduction
     of the amount of products ordered by the Operator and the Company's
     inability to obtain a satisfactory replacement in a timely manner may
     adversely affect the Company's sales and the results of operations.

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S.
     GAAP").

     a.   Use of estimates:

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
          statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
          those estimates.

     b.   Financial statements in U.S. dollars ("dollars"):

          A majority of the Company's revenues are generated in dollars. In
          addition, a substantial portion of the Company's costs are denominated
          and determined in dollars. The Company's management believes that the
          dollar is the primary currency in the economic environment in which
          the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of
          the Company is the dollar.

          Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the
          dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with Statement of the
          Financial Accounting Standard No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation".
          All transaction gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary
          balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as
          appropriate.

     c.   Principles of consolidation:

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alvarion
          Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and
          balances, including profits from intercompany sales not yet realized
          outside the Company, have been eliminated in consolidation.

     d.   Cash equivalents:

          Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are
          readily convertible to cash, with maturities of three months or less
          at the date acquired.

     e.   Short-term and long-term bank deposits:

          Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months and up to one
          year are included in short-term bank deposits. Bank deposits with
          maturities of one year or more are included in long-term bank
          deposits. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, most of the bank deposits
          are in U.S. dollars and bear interest at a weighted average interest
          rate of 4.06% and 4.13% respectively. The deposits are presented at
          their cost, including accrued interest.

     f.   Marketable securities:

          The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities
          using Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting
          for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".

          Management determines the appropriate classification of its
          investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates
          such determinations at each balance sheet date. Marketable debt
          securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the
          positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are
          stated at amortized cost.

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     In the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, all securities covered by
     SFAS No. 115 were designated by the Company's management as
     held-to-maturity.

     The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities is adjusted for
     amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such
     amortization and interest are included in the statements of operations as
     financial income or expenses, as appropriate. Realized gains and losses on
     sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are
     included in the statements of operations.

g.   Inventories:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
     determined as follows:

     Raw materials and components -- using the "weighted moving average cost"
     method.

     Work in progress and finished products is based on the cost of raw
     materials and components used and the cost of production as follows:

     Labor and overhead calculated on a periodic average basis, which
     approximates actual cost including direct and indirect manufacturing costs
     and related overhead.

     Inventory write offs have been provided to cover risks arising from dead
     and slow moving items, technological obsolescence and excess inventories
     according to revenue forecasts.

     During 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company recorded inventories write-offs and
     provisions for inventory purchase commitments in a total amount of $250,
     $5,255 and $10,908, respectively and an additional $0, $1,307 and $504,
     respectively, related to the Company's commitments to purchase inventories
     no longer required.

     The purchase commitment liability is related to on-order inventory that is
     in excess of the Company's future demand forecasts, amounted to
     approximately $4,390 and $4,894 as of December 31, 2003 and 2004,
     respectively.

     During 2003 and 2004, as a result of the increase of the overall worldwide
     demand for broadband access solutions, the demand for the Company's
     products increased as well. Consequently, the Company began utilizing part
     of the related products of its prior years' written-off components. In 2003
     and 2004, approximately $6,133 and $5,595, respectively, of inventory
     previously written-off was used as products' components in the Company's
     regular production course and were sold as finished goods to end users. The
     sales of these related manufactured products were reflected in the
     Company's revenues without additional cost in the cost of sales in the
     period the inventory was utilized.

h.   Long-term trade receivables

     Long-term receivables from InnoWave's acquisition carrying extended payment
     terms, were recorded at estimated present values determined based on
     appropriate interest rates and reported at their net amount in the
     accompanying financial statements. Imputed interest is recognized, using
     the effective interest method as a component of interest income in the
     accompanying statements of operations.

i.   Property and equipment, net:

      Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
      depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over
      the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:



                                                                 %

                                              lease period or the life of the asset


j.   Impairment of long-lived assets:

     The Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets
     are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
     Long-lived Assets", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
     that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During 2002,
     2003 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

k.   Other intangible assets, net:

     Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are amortized over
     their estimated useful life using a method of amortization that reflects
     the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are
     consumed or otherwise used up, in accordance with Statement of Accounting
     Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets":

     Current technology -- (i) the acquired Floware and interWAVE current
     technologies are being amortized over a period of seven years on the
     straight-line method and, (ii) the amount allocated to the InnoWave current
     technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 4.75 years and
     7.75 years reflecting different product amortization schedules.

     Customer relations -- (i) The amount allocated to the customer relations of
     InnoWave is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 3.75 years
     reflecting the expected attrition in customer relationships. (ii) The
     amount allocated to the customer relations of interWAVE is being amortized
     on a straight-line basis over 2 years based upon a 50% customer survival
     factor.

     Tradename and trademark -- The amount allocated to the acquired Tradename
     and trademark of interWAVE was based upon cost to generate the Tradename
     and trademark. This cost was estimated based upon the historical
     advertising and promotion spending over the last two years, due to the fact
     that the Company will not use interWAVE's name but will use the GSM product
     names. The amount allocated to the tradename and trademark is being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over two years based upon the expected
     transition time from the legacy hardware to the next generation hardware.

     Goodwill -- Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses
     acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition.

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     SFAS 142: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") prescribes a
     two phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase
     screens for impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures
     impairment.

     In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to each of
     the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of
     each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the
     reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second phase is then performed.
     The second phase of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair
     value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that
     goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds
     the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized
     in an amount equal to that excess.

     Goodwill attributable to the Company's single reporting unit as defined
     under SFAS No. 142, was tested for impairment by comparing its fair value
     with its carrying amount. Fair value is determined using an income approach
     and a market approach. Estimates used in the methodologies include
     estimated future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates,
     weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples.

     The Company performed the required annual impairment tests of goodwill's
     fair value in 2003. Based on management projections, expected future
     discounted operating cash flows and market multiples, no indication of
     goodwill impairment was identified in 2003.

     In accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No.141, during 2004 no indicators
     existed of assets and liabilities that comprise the reporting unit have
     changed significantly since the most recent fair value determination.
     Consequently, the company carried forward the determination of fair value
     analysis from 2003.

l.   Income taxes:

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
     No. 109"). This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method
     whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined
     based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
     assets and liabilities and for carryforward losses deferred taxes are
     measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
     the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation
     allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated
     realizable value.

m.   Accounting for stock-based compensation:

     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Statement No.
     25, "Accounting for Stock Options Issued to Employees" and FASB
     Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
     Compensation" in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB
     No. 25, when the exercise price of an employee stock option is equivalent
     to or above the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant,
     no compensation expense is recognized.

     The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting
     Standards Board Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
     -- Transition and Disclosure", which amended certain provisions of SFAS
     123. The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB No. 25, in
     accounting for stock-based compensation.

n.   Revenue recognition:

     The Company generates revenues from selling its products indirectly through
     distributors and OEMs and directly to end-users.

     Revenues are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
     104 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and Emerging Issues Task
     Force No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables", when
     the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
     exists, delivery has occurred, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or
     determinable, no further obligation exists and collection is reasonably
     assured.

     The Company generally does not grant a right of return. However, the
     Company has granted to certain distributors limited rights of return on
     unsold products. Product revenues on shipments to these distributors are

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     In cases under which the Company is obligated to perform post delivery
     installation services, revenues are recognized upon completion of the
     installation.

     In transactions, where a customer's contractual terms include a provision
     for customer acceptance, revenues are recognized either when such
     acceptance has been obtained or the acceptance provision has lapsed.

o.   Warranty costs:

     The Company provides a 12 to 36 month warranty period for all of its
     products. The specific terms and conditions of a warranty vary depending
     upon the product sold and customer it is sold to. The Company estimates the
     costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in
     the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors
     that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of units,
     historical rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company
     periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and
     adjusts the amounts as necessary.

     Changes in the Company's warranty allowance during the period are as
     follows:

p.   Research and development:

     Research and development costs, net of grants received, are charged to the
     statement of operations as incurred.

q.   Grants and participations:

     Royalty and non-royalty bearing grants from the Government of Israel for
     funding approved research and development projects are recognized at the
     time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs
     incurred and included as a deduction of research and development costs.

r.   Severance pay:

     The liability for severance pay for the Israeli companies is calculated
     pursuant to Israel's 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. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each
     year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company's liability is fully
     provided by monthly deposits with severance pay funds, insurance policies
     and by an accrual.

     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 Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The
     value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the consolidated balance
     sheet. Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003
     and 2004, were $2,787, $2,410 and $3,016, respectively.

s.   Advertising expenses:

     Advertising expenses are carried to the statement of operations as
     incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003
     and 2004, were $351, $250 and $466, respectively.

t.   Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:

     Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted
     average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net
     earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number
     of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential
     Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with
     Statement of Financial Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".

     The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding
     options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted net earning
     (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect was 14,730, 15,548 and
     555 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

u.   Concentration of credit risk:

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
     concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
     equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long-term bank deposits, marketable
     debt securities, trade receivables and long-term receivables.

     The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank
     deposits and long-term bank deposits are invested in U.S. dollar deposits
     with major U.S., European and Israeli banks. Deposits in the U.S. may be in
     excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions.
     Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's
     investments are financially sound and accordingly, minimal credit risk
     exists with respect to these investments.

     The Company's marketable securities include investments in debentures of
     U.S. corporations. Management believes that those corporations are
     financially sound, the portfolio is well diversified and, accordingly,
     minimal credit risk exists with respect to these marketable securities.

     The trade receivables and the long-term receivables of the Company and its
     subsidiaries are derived from sales to customers located primarily in North
     America and Latin America, the Far East and Europe. The Company and its
     subsidiaries generally do not require collateral; however, under certain
     circumstances, the Company and its subsidiaries may require letters of
     credit, other collateral, additional guarantees or advance payments.
     Regarding certain account receivables balances, the Company is covered by
     foreign trade risk insurance. The Company and its subsidiaries perform
     ongoing credit evaluations of their customers and, to date, have not

     experienced material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
     determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to
     be doubtful of collection.

     The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts expenses (income) for the
     years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, was $88, $(582), and $727,
     respectively.

v.   Fair value of financial instruments:

     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
     the Company 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 the Company could
     realize in a current market exchange.

     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank
     deposits, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their fair
     values, due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

     The fair value of marketable debt securities are based on quoted market
     prices and do not significantly differ from carrying amount (see Note 3).

     The fair value of long-term bank deposits, long-term receivables, and
     long-term liabilities were estimated by discounting the future cash flows,
     using the rate currently available for deposits and for the long-term
     receivables and liabilities of similar terms and maturity. The carrying
     amount of the Company's long-term bank deposits, long-term receivables, and
     long-term liabilities approximate their fair value.

     The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by obtaining current
     quotes from banks.

w.   Derivative instruments:

     Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), requires
     companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets
     or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value.

     For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging
     instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon
     the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a
     hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

     For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value
     hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset
     or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a
     particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as
     the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged
     risk are recognized in current earnings during the period of the change in
     fair values. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as
     a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected
     future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective
     portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a
     component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in
     the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects
     earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess
     of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the
     hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of
     change. For derivative instruments not

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in
     current earnings during the period of change.

     Cash flow Hedging Strategy:

     To hedge against the risk of overall changes in cash flows resulting from
     forecasted foreign currency salary payments during the year, the Company
     has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company
     hedges portions of its forecasted expenses denominated in NIS with forwards
     and put and call options (zero-cost collar). These option contracts are
     designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by SFAS No. 133 and Derivative
     Implementation Group Issue G20 and are all effective.

     The Company recognized gains of $407 during the year ended December 31,
     2004. All amounts have been included in salary expenses in the statement of
     operations.

     As of December 31, 2004 the Company recorded accumulated other
     comprehensive income in the amount of $226 from its zero cost collar with
     respect to anticipated payroll expenses expected to be incurred during
     2005. Such amount will be recorded into earnings during 2005.

     Fair Value Hedging Strategy:

     The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of
     its NIS trade payables for a period of one to three months. The purpose of
     the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the fair
     value due to foreign exchange rates.

x.   Reclassification

     Certain amounts from prior years' cash flow presentation of long-term
     receivables have been reclassified to conform to current period
     presentation.

y.   Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

     In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs, An amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter
     4.". SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43,
     Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
     freight handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized
     as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that the
     allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be
     based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SAFS No. 151 is
     effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
     June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No.
     151 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of
     operations.

     In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the
     consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The
     Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
     Investments". The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for
     identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure
     requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In
     September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FSP EITF
     03-1-1, "Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1," which
     defers the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance
     contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1 pending the development of


                                      F-22


ALVARION LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 2: - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     further guidance. The Company will continue to monitor these developments
     concerning this Issue and are currently unable to determine the impact of
     EITF 03-1 on its financial position or results of operations.

     On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
     Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision
     of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
     Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
     to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.
     Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach
     described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all
     share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
     options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
     values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Early adoption
     will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet
     been issued. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the
     first interim period beginning after January 1, 2006.

     As permitted by Statement 123, the company currently accounts for
     share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25's intrinsic value method
     and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock
     options. In addition, non-compensatory plans under APB 25 will be
     considered compensatory for Statement 123(R) purposes. Accordingly, the
     adoption of Statement 123(R)'s fair value method will have a significant
     impact on the Company result of operations, although it will have no impact
     on the Company overall financial position. Had the Company adopted
     Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have
     approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of
     pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2m to the consolidated
     financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
     this standard on its results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 3: - MARKETABLE SECURITIES (Continued)

     The unrealized losses of the Company's investments in held to maturity
     marketable securities were mainly caused by interest rate increases. The
     contractual cash flows of these investments are either guaranteed by the
     U.S. government or an agency of the U.S. government or were issued by
     highly rated corporations. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities
     would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the
     Company's investment. Based on the immaterial severity of the impairments
     and the ability and intent of the Company to hold these investments until
     maturity, the bonds were not considered to be other than temporarily
     impaired at December 31, 2004.

     The Company sold held-to-maturity marketable securities only during the
     years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 amounting to $9,478 and $1,137,
     respectively. The marketable securities were sold before their maturity,
     due to a deterioration in their credit rating. As a result of the sale, the
     Company recorded immaterial gains during 2002 and 2003.

     As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of gross unrealized losses,
     which have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer was
     immaterial.

NOTE 10: - OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

     Under an arrangement previously entered with the Office of the Chief
     Scientist in Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade ("the OCS"), the
     company settled its liability for the amount due of $8,534. The repayment
     to the OCS could be made over a period of five years from the date of
     settlement. The liability is linked to Israel's Consumer Price Index
     ("CPI") and bears annual interest of 4% (see also Note 9).

     This Arrangement enables the Company to participate in new OCS programs
     under which it will be eligible to receive grants for research and
     development projects without any royalty repayment obligations excluding
     OCS program grants resulting from InnoWave's former operations which were
     not included in the Arrangement.

NOTE 11: - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

a.   Premises occupied by the Company are leased under various lease agreements.
     The lease agreements for these premises will expire in 2007.

     The Company has leased various motor vehicles under operating lease
     agreements. These leases expire in fiscal year 2007.

     Future minimum rental payments under such leases for the year ending
     December 31, 2004 are as follows:



                                                                        Lease of

     2007                                                       53          719

                                                            ======       ======


     Total rental expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004,
     were $3,594, $3,991 and $4,537, respectively. Motor vehicle leasing
     expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, were $2,041,
     $2,219 and $2,079, respectively.

b.   Litigation:

     1.   A lawsuit was filed by a former customer of interWAVE on December 8,
          2004, for compensatory damages with respect to certain alleged damages
          caused by interWAVE actions in the amount of approximately $4,000. As
          this claim is yet in its preliminary stage, it is impractical to
          predict its outcome. The management of the Company does not believe it
          will have a material effect on the Company's financial results nor
          could the Company's legal advisors estimate the likelihood of an
          unfavorable outcome of this matter.

     2.   During 2001 a purported Class Action (the "Action") lawsuit was filed
          against interWAVE asserting failure to disclose certain alleged
          improper actions by various underwriters and interWAVE's officers and
          directors under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934 followed by interWAVE's initial public offering. A
          stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement") has been submitted to the
          Court for preliminary approval.

NOTE 11: - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)

          Under the Settlement interWAVE will be dismissed of all claims in
          exchange for a contingent payment guarantee by the insurance companies
          responsible for insuring interWAVE as an issuer. There is no guarantee
          that the settlement will become effective as it is subject to certain
          terms. In case settlement will not occur, the Company is of the
          opinion that it has a good defense against the action. However, the
          litigation results cannot be predicted at this point.

c.   As of December 31, 2004, the Company obtained bank guarantees in the total
     amount of approximately $15,131, in favor of vendors, customers, lessors
     and Government authorities.

d.   Royalties:

     The Company participated in programs sponsored by the Israeli Government
     for the support of research and development activities. During 2003 and
     2004, the Company had recorded royalty-bearing grants from the Office of
     the Chief Scientist of Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade ("the OCS")
     aggregating to $1,087 and $480, respectively, for certain of the Company's
     research and development projects. The Company is obligated to pay
     royalties to the OCS, amounting to 3%-5% of the sales of the products and
     other related revenues generated from such projects, up to 100%. The
     obligation to pay these royalties is contingent upon actual sales of the
     products, and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.

     During 2003 and 2004, the Company has paid or accrued royalties to the OCS
     in the amount of $1,167 and $3,151, respectively. As of December 31, 2003
     and 2004, the aggregate contingent liability to the OCS amounted to $9,598
     and $7,157, respectively.

NOTE 12: - SHARE CAPITAL

a.   The Company listed its shares for trade on the NASDAQ National Market and
     on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.

b.   Shareholders' rights:

     The Ordinary shares confer upon the holders rights to receive notice to
     participate and vote in general meetings of the Company, to receive
     dividends, if and when declared and to receive, upon liquidation, a pro
     rata share of any remaining assets.

c.   Treasury stocks:

     Through December 31, 2002, the Company resolved to implement a share
     buy-back plan under which the total amount to be paid for the repurchased
     shares shall not exceed $9,000.

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company purchased 3,796,773 shares at a
     weighted average price per share of approximately $2.07 per share.

d.   Exchange offer plan:

     During September 2002, the Company adopted a voluntary employee stock
     option exchange program, under which the employees were offered the right
     to cancel outstanding stock options carrying an exercise price above $4.6
     in exchange for a future grant. The number of new options for each
     participant was calculated under the terms of the plan based on each
     participant's

     cancelled options exercise price. The future grant took place six months
     and one day from the cancellation date and ranged from 2% to 85% of the
     number of cancelled options.

     The new options, generally, vest over two and a half years of employment.
     The exercise price of the new options is based on the quoted market price
     of the Company's Ordinary shares at the time of the grant thereof. The
     total number of options cancelled under the exchange program was 6,031,913.

e.   Warrants:

     In connection with Floware's merger, the Company issued warrants to
     purchase 416,174 of its Ordinary shares exercisable through March 2005, at
     a weighted average exercise price of $5.42 per share, in exchange for then
     outstanding Floware warrants.

     In connection with the acquisition of InnoWave, the Company issued to ECI
     Telecom Ltd. a warrant to purchase 200,000 Ordinary shares of the Company
     exercisable over a period of five years at an exercise price of $3 per
     share.

     As of December 31, 2004, 381,682 warrants were exercised for the Company's
     Ordinary shares and the remaining warrants expired. As of December 31,
     2004, there are no outstanding warrants.

f.   Share options:

     Since 1994, the Company has granted options to purchase Ordinary shares to
     key employees, directors and consultants as an incentive to attract and
     retain qualified personnel under several plans. Under the terms of these
     plans, options generally vest ratably over a period of up to four years,
     commencing on the date of grant. The options generally expire no later than
     10 years from the date of grant, and are non-transferable, except under the
     laws of succession. Each option may be exercised to purchase one Ordinary
     share for an exercise price that is generally equal to the quoted market
     price of the underlying share on the date of grant. Options that are
     cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future
     grants.

     The Company has six stock option plans under which 24,998,651 Ordinary
     shares were reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2004, 1,757,766
     Ordinary shares of the Company are still available for future grants under
     the various option plans.

     In connection with the grant of certain share options to employees in 2002,
     2003 and 2004, the Company recorded amortization of deferred stock
     compensation of $580, $511 and $60, respectively, for the aggregate
     differences between the respective exercise price of options at their dates
     of grant and the fair value of the Ordinary shares subject to such options.
     Unamortized deferred stock compensation is presented as a reduction in

     In the event that cash dividends are declared in the future, such dividends

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME

     Income derived by Alvarion Ltd. is generally subject to the regular Israeli
     corporate tax rate of 35%. However, as detailed below, income derived in
     Israel from certain "Approved Enterprises" will enjoy certain tax benefits
     for a specific definitive period. The allocation of income derived from
     approved enterprises is dependent upon compliance with certain requirements
     with the Investment Law.

a.   Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments,
     1959:

     Alvarion Ltd. has been granted status as an "Approved Enterprise" under the
     Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the investment
     law"). According to the provision of the law, Alvarion Ltd. has elected the
     "alternative benefits" track provisions of the investment law, pursuant to
     which Alvarion has waived its right to grants and instead receives a tax
     benefit on undistributed income derived from the "Approved Enterprise"
     program. The entitlement to tax benefits depends upon compliance with the
     investment law regulations. In 1995, Alvarion Ltd. was first granted the
     status of "Approved Enterprise" regarding the production facilities in
     Tel-Aviv. By reason of the tax benefits, the income derived from this
     "Approved Enterprise" will be tax exempt for a period of four years, and
     will be taxed at a reduced rate of 10% to 25% for six additional years
     (depending on the percentage of foreign investment in the Company). The
     10-year period of benefits will commence with the first year in which
     Alvarion Ltd. earns taxable income. In 1997, Alvarion Ltd.'s production
     facility in Nazareth was granted status as an

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Continued)

     "Approved Enterprise". Accordingly, Alvarion Ltd.'s income from that
     "Approved Enterprise" will be tax-exempt for a period of 10 years. The
     10-year period of benefits will commence with the first year in which
     Alvarion Ltd. earns taxable income.

     During February 2000, Alvarion Ltd. submitted an expansion request for its
     third "Approved Enterprise" regarding its production facilities in Nazareth
     and Carmiel (which was relocated during 2004 to Migdal Haemek). The income
     derived from this "Approved Enterprise" will be tax-exempt for a period of
     10 years. The 10-year period of benefits will commence with the first year
     in which Alvarion Ltd. earns taxable income. Alvarion Ltd.'s expansion
     request has been approved.

     The period of tax benefits is subject to limits of the earlier of 12 years
     from the commencement of production, or 14 years from receiving the
     approval. The period of benefits for the first, second and third plans have
     not yet commenced, and will expire in 2008, 2010 and 2014, respectively.

     In connection with its merger with Floware in 2001, Alvarion Ltd. assumed
     the following Floware Ltd. "Approved Enterprise" agreement:

     Floware Ltd. was granted an "Approved Enterprise" status for its 1997 plan
     regarding the production facility in Or-Yehuda. After the merger, the
     operations were relocated to Alvarions's facilities in Tel-Aviv. The income
     derived from this "Approved Enterprise" will be tax-exempt for a period of
     two years and will enjoy a reduced tax rate thereafter of 10%-25% for an
     additional period of five to eight years (depending on the percentage of
     foreign investment in the Company). The period of benefits will commence
     with the first year in which Alvarion Ltd. earns taxable income.

     In order to maintain its eligibility for benefits following the merger with
     Floware, the Company must continue to meet specified conditions, however,
     Alvarion has yet to finalize the status of the tax benefits with the tax
     authorities following the merger of Floware.

     InnoWave was granted an "Approved Enterprise" status for its 1997 plan
     regarding the production facility in Omer. During 1999, InnoWave's request
     for an expansion was approved.

     During 2003, the Company had applied for the assignment of InnoWave's
     former "Approved Enterprise" status to Alvarion. As of December 31, 2004,
     such approval has been obtained.

     Alvarion Ltd.'s entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon its
     fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Investment 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, any benefits which were previously granted may be
     canceled and Alvarion Ltd. may be required to refund the amount of the
     benefits, in whole or in part, including interest.

     If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed in a manner other than
     in the complete liquidation of the Company the distribution would be taxed
     at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had
     not elected the alternative system of benefits, currently between 15%-20%
     for an "Approved Enterprise". As of December 31, 2004, the accumulated
     deficit of the Company does not include tax-exempt profits earned by the
     Company's "Approved Enterprise".

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Continued)

     A recent amendment to the Investment Law (the "Amendment"), that has been
     officially published and effected since of April 1, 2005, has significantly
     changed the provisions of the Investment 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.
     Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which
     tax benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no
     longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax
     benefits.

     The Amendment 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.

     Alvarion Ltd. has had no taxable income since inception.

b.   Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation),
     1969:

     Alvarion Ltd. is an "industrial company" under the above law and, as such,
     is entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly accelerated depreciation of
     machinery and equipment. For tax purposes only, the Company may also be
     entitled to deduct over a three-year period expenses incurred in connection
     with a public share offering and to amortize know-how acquired from third
     parties.

c.   In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, Alvarion Ltd. has not
     provided deferred income taxes on the difference between the reporting
     currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

     Commencing with taxable year 2003, the Company has elected to measure its
     results for Israeli tax purposes on the basis of amounts denominated in US
     dollar.

     This election obligates the Company for a three-year-period.

e.   Carryforward losses:

     As of December 31, 2004, Alvarion Ltd. had an available tax loss
     carryforward amounting to approximately $89,000, may be carried forward, in
     order to offset taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period.

     In addition, an accumulated net tax operating loss carryforward, in a total
     amount of approximately $69,000, resulted from the merger with Floware
     which may be carried forward to subsequent years and may be set off against
     the merged company's taxable income, commencing with the tax year
     immediately following the merger. This set off is limited to the lesser of:

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Continued)

     1.   20% of the aggregate net tax operating losses carryforward of the
          merged companies prior to the effective time of the merger; and

     2.   50% of the combined company's taxable income in the relevant tax year
          before the set off of losses from preceding years.

     These restrictions, with several modifications, also apply to the set off
     of capital losses of the merged companies against capital gains of the
     combined company.

     As of December 31, 2004, the state and the federal tax losses carryforward
     of the U.S. subsidiary excluding former interWAVE tax losses carryforward
     amounted to approximately $6,559 and 17,529, respectively. Such losses are
     available to be offset against any future U.S. taxable income of the U.S.
     subsidiary and will expire in 2008 and 2023, respectively.

     Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial
     annual limitations due to the "change in ownership" provisions ("annual
     limitations") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state
     provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net
     operating losses before utilization.

     Following the acquisition of interWAVE, the Company analyzed the annual
     limitations on its net operating loss carryforward as of the acquisition
     date and its alternatives to benefits from such losses. As of December 31,
     2004, the Company has yet to finalize the estimated amount of net operating
     loss carryforward from the interWAVE acquisition.

f.   Reduction in corporate tax rate:

     In June 2004, the Israeli Parliament approved an amendment to the Income
     Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), which progressively
     reduces the corporate tax rate from 36% to 35% in 2004 and to a rate of 30%
     in 2007.

g.   Deferred taxes:

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
     between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
     reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
     Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets
     are as follows:

NOTE 13: - TAXES ON INCOME (Continued)

     The Company has provided valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax
     assets resulting from tax loss carryforward and other temporary
     differences, since the Company has a history of losses over the past three
     years. Management currently believes that it is more likely than not that
     the deferred tax assets regarding the loss carryforward and other temporary
     differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

     The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company
     and the effective tax rate are the non-recognition of tax benefits resulted
     from the Company's accumulated net operating losses carryforward due to the
     uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits and the effect of the
     "Approved Enterprise".
