TOWER SEMICONDUCTOR ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS 2005 RESULTS
FAB2 TAPE-OUTS DURING Q2 AT RECORD HIGH
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel -- August 2, 2005 -- Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ:
TSEM; TASE: TSEM), a pure-play independent specialty foundry, today announced
second quarter and six months results for fiscal year 2005. Revenues were $27.2
million for the three months ended June 30, including $8 million from a
previously announced technology-related agreement, versus revenues of $23.2 in
the first quarter of 2005 and $33.7 million in the second quarter of 2004. For
the six months ending June 30, 2005, revenues were $50.4 million, including $8
million from a previously announced technology-related agreement, versus $60.9
million for the first half of 2004, including $1.9 million from this same
agreement.
The 2005-second quarter loss was $47.2 million, or $0.71 per share, which
represents negative $4.5 million EBITDA. This loss is compared with a loss of
$55.3 million, or $0.84 per share, for the first quarter of 2005 (negative $13.7
million EBITDA), and a loss of $36.5 million, or $0.55 per share, in the second
quarter of 2004 (negative $2.2 million EBITDA). In addition, for the first half
of 2005 the loss was $102.6 million, or $1.56 per share, which represents
negative $18.2 million EBITDA versus a loss of $75 million, or $1.16 per share
for the first half of 2004 (negative $8.2 million EBITDA).
Tower expects revenues in the third quarter of 2005 to be in the range of $20 to
$22 million, reflecting a modest growth over Q2 sales from manufacturing
activities. In addition, Q2 had a record high number of Fab2 customer product
tape-outs, exceeding the total for the full calendar year in 2004. These
tape-outs are expected to materialize into revenue growth in the coming quarters
and indicate the increasing traction of the Fab2 technology offering to its
customer's products.
During the second quarter Tower has started shipping production wafers of 1.3
and 2.0 mega-pixel CMOS Image Sensors for cell-phone applications, utilizing the
0.18-micron manufacturing capabilities of Fab2. Included in Q2 tape-outs, a
product for a leading fabless company, utilizing Tower's state of the art 0.18
micron embedded NVM solution. Tower continues to grow its mixed signal revenues
in Fab2 and has attained excellent performance on an advanced RFCMOS product in
the Wi-Fi space.
Tower has reached a definitive agreement with its banks, under which they will
provide the company with up to approximately $30 million of additional funding
to be matched by financing of $30 million to be raised by Tower. A preliminary
prospectus for rights to purchase the company's convertible debentures was filed
in the U.S. and Israel. All of Tower's shareholders as of the record date, yet
to be determined, will be offered the opportunity to participate in this $50
million offering. Certain of Tower's major shareholders have committed to
purchase from Tower $24.5 million principal amount of convertible debentures.
"I have now visited the majority of Tower's customers world wide and the
overriding sentiment is confidence and satisfaction in Towers technical and
operational capability and best of breed responsiveness", said Russell
Ellwanger, chief executive officer, Tower Semiconductor. "With up to $60M
million in additional funding from our banks and investors we will continue to
build on these strengths, while setting our customers' needs at the core of our
operation."
The revenue numbers below exclude the $8 million from a previously announced
technology agreement.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2005
(dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
A. BASIS FOR PRESENTATION
(1) The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
as of June 30, 2005 and for the six months and three months then
ended ("interim financial statements") of Tower Semiconductor
Ltd. and subsidiary ("the Company") should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended, including
the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the interim
financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations
as of the date and for the interim periods presented. The results
of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected on a full-year basis.
(2) The interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Israel
("Israeli GAAP"), which, as applicable to these interim financial
statements, differ in certain respects from GAAP in the United
States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), as indicated in Note 6. The
accounting principles applied in the preparation of these interim
financial statements are consistent with those principles applied
in the preparation of the most recent annual audited financial
statements, except for the accounting principles detailed in (4)
below.
(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS BY THE FASB
A. SFAS NO. 151. INVENTORY COSTS, AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 43,
CHAPTER 4 - In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
"INVENTORY COSTS, AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 43, CHAPTER 4".
SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB 43, Chapter 4,
"Inventory Pricing", which provides guidance on the
allocation of certain costs to inventory. SFAS 151 clarifies
that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be
recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to
the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of
the production facilities. The provisions of this statement
are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after June 2005. The provisions of this
statement shall be applied prospectively. This Standard is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

B. SFAS 153, EXCHANGE OF NON-MONETARY ASSETS - In December
2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "EXCHANGES OF
NONMONETARY ASSETS AN AMENDMENT OF APB NO. 29". This
Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and
replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of
nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.
The Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
are expected to change significantly as a result of the
exchange. This Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June
15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary
asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
the date this Statement is issued. Retroactive application
is not permitted. The adoption of this Standard is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
C. SFAS NO. 154. ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS -
This Statement, published in May 2005, replaces APB Opinion
No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting
for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This
Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement
does not include specific transition provisions.
Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes
in accounting principle be recognized by including in net
income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of
changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement
requires retrospective application to prior periods'
financial statements of changes in accounting principle,
unless it is impracticable to determine the specific effects
or the cumulative effect of the change. The Statement also
provides guidance for cases in which it is impracticable to
determine the period-specific effects of an accounting
change on one or more individual prior periods presented,
and/or for cases in which it is impracticable to determine
the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting
principle to all prior periods.

A. BASIS FOR PRESENTATION (cont.)
(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT BY THE FASB (cont.)
C. SFAS NO. 154. ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS
(cont.)
This Statement defines retrospective application as the
application of a different accounting principle to prior
accounting periods as if that principle had always been used
or as the adjustment of previously issued financial
statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This
Statement also redefines restatement as the revisiting of
previously issued financial statements to reflect the
correction of an error.
This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation,
amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
non-financial assets, be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting
principle. This Statement carries forward without change the
guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the
correction of an error in previously issued financial
statements and a change in accounting estimate. This
Statement also carries forward the guidance in Opinion 20
requiring justification of a change in accounting principle
on the basis of preferability.
The provisions of this Statement are effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made during
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption
of this Standard is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position and results of
operations.
(4) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT BY THE ISRAELI ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS BOARD
ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 19 "TAXES ON INCOME" - In July 2004,
the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting
Standard No. 19 "INCOME TAXES" (the "Standard"). The
Standard established the guideline for recognizing,
measuring, presenting and disclosing income taxes in the
financial statements. The Standard is effective for
financial statements relating to reporting periods
commencing on, or after, January 1, 2005. The initial
adoption of the Standard is accounted for by the cumulative
effect of change in accounting method, for the beginning of
the period in which the Standard is initially adopted. The
implementation of the Standard did not affect the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

B. ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATIONS OF NEW FABRICATION FACILITY ("FAB 2")
In January 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
establishment of a new wafer fabrication facility in Israel ("Fab 2").
Fab 2 is designated to manufacture semiconductor integrated circuits
on silicon wafers in geometries of 0.18 micron and below on
200-millimeter wafers. The Company has entered into several related
agreements and other arrangements and has completed public and private
financing deals, which, as of the approval date of the interim
financial statements, have provided an aggregate of $1,269,000 of
financing for Fab 2.
The Fab 2 project is a complex undertaking, which entails substantial
risks and uncertainties. For further details concerning the Fab 2
project and related agreements, some of which were amended several
times, risks and uncertainties, see Note 12A to the 2004 audited
consolidated financial statements.

C. FINANCING OF THE COMPANY'S ONGOING OPERATIONS
In the first half of 2005 and in recent years, the Company has
experienced significant recurring losses from operations and recurring
negative cash flows from operating activities and an increasing
accumulated deficit. According to the Company's approved short-term
working plan, based on the current prevailing semiconductor market
conditions, in the event the Company raises in a timely manner
approximately $60,000 in funds as contemplated by an amendment to the
Facility Agreement that was signed in July 2005, and by the
commitments of certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer
Partners, described in Note 4B below, the Company will still need to
raise additional funds in order to finance its short-term activities
and liabilities in 2006, at least until the Company achieves positive
cash flow from its operations. In addition, for details concerning
recent amendments to certain of the Company's financial ratios and
covenants through the third quarter of 2006 under the amended Facility
Agreement with the Banks, which were obtained subsequent to a waiver
letter agreement signed between the Company and the Banks in January
2005, see Note 4B below and Note 12A(6) to the 2004 audited
consolidated financial statements. In light of the above described,
the Company has been taking comprehensive measures to obtain the
needed funds for its near-term ongoing operations, as well as to
reduce its short-term liabilities. The Company has also implemented
cost reduction measures, including measures to reduce expenses, cost
structure and cash burn, and in March 2005, the Company completed a
workforce cutback, as part of an across-the-board savings plan focused
on operational efficiencies. In this regard, the Company, certain of
its Equity Investors, Wafer Partners, and its Banks have been holding
discussions to provide additional funding for the Company of an
aggregate amount of approximately $60,000. Consequently, in July 2005,
an amendment to the Facility Agreement was signed between the Company
and its Banks, which is subject to the fulfillment of certain closing
conditions, for providing the Company with up to $30,000, through the
end of March 2006 (for additional details, see Note 4B below). In
addition, as of the approval date of the interim financial statements,
certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer Partners have
committed and are obligated to invest $24,500 in the framework of the
preliminary rights offering prospectus the Company filed in July 2005
in the U.S. and Israel, described in Note 5D below. Further, the
Company is currently examining alternatives for additional funding
sources.
The Company's management estimates that it is probable that the
closing conditions to the amendment to the Facility Agreement will be
satisfied in a timely manner, the rights offering process will be
successfully completed and the Equity Investors and Wafer Partners
will invest the funds as described above, and that additional funds
the Company will need in 2006 from the additional funding sources the
Company is currently examining, as described above, will be achieved.

NOTE 4 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO FAB 2
A. APPROVED ENTERPRISE STATUS
Under the terms of the approved enterprise program for Fab 2, the
Company is eligible to receive grants of 20% of up to $1,250,000
invested in Fab 2 plant and equipment, or an aggregate of up to
$250,000, of which as of the balance sheet date, an aggregate of
$155,005 has been already received from the Investment Center.
Under the terms of the program, investments in respect of Fab 2 may be
completed by December 31, 2005, five years from the date the approval
certificate was obtained. Due to the later than planned commencement
of construction of Fab 2, prevailing market conditions and slower than
planned ramp-up, the Company does not expect to complete Fab 2
investments by the end of 2005. As of June 30, 2005, the Company
completed approximately 71% of the investments under the approved
enterprise program.
Since the approved investment period of five years ends on December
31, 2005, the Company has been holding discussions with the Investment
Center to achieve satisfactory arrangements to approve a new expansion
program to commence on January 1, 2006. During the first half of 2005,
the Company received letters from the Israeli Minister of Industry,
Trade and Employment and from the General Manager of the Investment
Center stating that they will act under Israeli law to support such
expansion. In April 2005, at the Investment Center's request, the
Company submitted a revised business plan to the Investment Center for
the period commencing on January 1, 2006. As of the approval date of
the interim financial statements, the process of reviewing the revised
business plan is in its early stages, and the Company's management
cannot estimate the outcome of the Company's efforts to obtain
approval for an expansion program to its Fab 2 approved enterprise
program.
B. AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT
During 2005, the Company and the Banks entered into the following
amendments to the Facility Agreement:
(1) In January 2005, the Company and its Banks signed a waiver letter
agreement according to which the Banks waived the Company's
non-compliance with certain financial ratios and covenants for
the fourth quarter of 2004. The agreement signed also amended
certain of the financial ratios and covenants the Company is to
comply with during 2005, which were further revised in the
framework of the July 2005 amendment to the Facility Agreement
described below.

B. AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT (cont.)
(2) In July 2005, further to a letter of intent signed between the
Company and its Banks in May 2005, the Company and its Banks
entered into a definitive amendment to the Facility Agreement.
The amendment provides, among other things, for Banks financing
of up to $30,000 to cover the Company's 2005 interest payments
under the Facility Agreement, subject to a similar amount being
raised by the Company from investors. In connection with the
amendment, certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer
Partners, have committed and are obligated to invest an aggregate
of $23,500 towards such funding by investors in the context of
the rights offering described in Note 5D below.
The up to approximately $30,000 to be provided by the Banks under
the July 2005 amendment may be withdrawn in up to three
installments through the end of March 2006, will bear annual
interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus 2.5% and shall be
repayable in a period between twelve to fifteen months from each
date any amount is received by the Company. The amendment further
provides that a rescheduling of said repayments dates should be
discussed following the closing date of the amendment.
Any unutilized amount on account of the up to approximately
$30,000 amount will bear a commitment fee at an annual rate of
0.25%.
The July 2005 amendment further provides that: (i) The Israel
Corporation undertaking, as detailed in Note 12A(6) to the 2004
annual financial statements, shall be extended from June 30, 2006
to December 31, 2006; (ii) such undertaking will be deemed to
have been fulfilled if the Israel Corporation invests in the
context of the rights offering at least $14,000; (iii) any
amounts raised through March 31, 2006, up to $30,000 from the
investors as detailed above, shall not constitute financing from
other sources towards the $152,000 fundraising milestone, as
detailed in Note 12A(6) to the 2004 annual financial statements;
and (iv) the last date in which the Company is to comply with the
$152,000 fundraising milestone is postponed from December 31,
2005 to June 30, 2006.
The amendment also revised certain of the financial ratios and
covenants through the third quarter of 2006 to align them with
the Company's current working plan. The Company's management
estimates that it is probable that the Company will comply with
the revised financial ratios and covenants under the July 2005
amendment.

B. AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT (cont.)
As of the balance sheet date, the Company was in full compliance
with all of the financial ratios and covenants under the amended
Facility Agreement. According to the Facility Agreement,
satisfying the financial ratios and covenants is a material
provision.
The Facility Agreement provides that if, as a result of any
default, the Banks were to accelerate the Company's obligations,
the Company would be obligated, among other matters, to
immediately repay all loans made by the Banks (which as of the
balance sheet date amounted to $497,000) plus penalties, and the
Banks would be entitled to exercise the remedies available to
them under the Facility Agreement, including enforcement of their
lien against all of the Company's assets.
NOTE 5 - OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
A. CLASS ACTION
In August 2004, the United States District Court dismissed the class
action filed in July 2003 by certain of the Company's shareholders in
the United States against the Company and certain of its directors,
Wafer Partners and Equity Investors ("the Defendants"). The plaintiffs
had asserted claims arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
alleging misstatements and omissions made by the Defendants in
materials sent to the Company's shareholders in April 2002 with
respect to the approval of an amendment to the Company's investment
agreements with its Fab 2 investors. In December 2004, one of the lead
plaintiffs filed an appeal of the decision dismissing the complaint.
The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and is
vigorously contesting it.
B. SHARE OPTION PLANS
(1) OPTIONS GRANTED TO DIRECTORS - In accordance with the Company's
share option plan for directors, 80,000 options were granted in
February 2005 to two newly appointed directors (40,000 options
each) at an exercise price of $1.87, which equals the market
price of the Company's shares on the grant date. As of the of the
balance sheet date, 240,000 options were outstanding under the
plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $6.08.

B. SHARE OPTION PLANS (cont.)
(2) EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS GRANTED TO THE COMPANY'S FORMER CHAIRMAN OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - Due to the
resignation of the Company's former Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer, in May 2005 625,800 of the
1,043,000 options granted to him, were fully forfeited.
(3) OPTIONS TO THE COMPANY'S NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR
- In April 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
grant of options to purchase up to 1,325,724 Ordinary Shares to
the Company's new appointed Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who
was also appointed as a director. These options are exercisable
at an exercise price of $1.56, the opening market price of the
Company's shares on the date of the board approval of the grant.
Granted options will vest over a four-year period, 25% over each
year of employment. The options granted are exercisable for a
period of ten years from the date of grant. The grant of the
options is subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.
If as a result of equity financings consummated after April 30,
2005 (excluding the exercise or conversion of existing warrants,
options, convertible debentures or other rights to acquire the
Company's securities on such date), the CEO's total number of
options granted to him through April 30, 2007 would represent
less than 1.2% of the total number of issued and outstanding
shares of the Company as of April 30, 2007, additional options
will be granted to the CEO to result in a 1.2% holding of the
total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company as
of April 30, 2007.
(4) OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES - In May 2005, the Company's Board of
Directors approved the grant of 2,900,000 options to the
Company's employees at an exercise price of $1.58, which equals
to the Company's share market price as of the date of grant. The
options granted will vest over a four-year period from the date
of grant and will expire ten years from such date. The net
increase to the total outstanding options under the Company's
various employee share option plans during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2005, amounted to 1,433,709 options.

(5) WARRANTS TO THE BANKS - In connection with the July 2005
amendment detailed in Note 4B above, the Company agreed to issue
warrants to the Banks exercisable into an aggregate of 8,264,464
ordinary shares of the Company, with an exercise price of $1.21.
One-half (4,132,232 warrants) are exercisable for five years
ending in July 2010, and one-half (4,132,232 warrants) shall be
exercisable for a five-year period commencing on the date on
which the Company and its Banks will agree, if at all, upon the
rescheduled repayment dates of the new loans of up to
approximately $30,000, as described in Note 4B above. The cost of
the 4,132,232warrants issued to the Banks in July 2005,
determined based on the fair value at the grant date in
accordance with SFAS 123, amounted to a total of $2,793. Such
amount is to be amortized as deferred financing charges over the
terms of the new loans of up to approximately $30,000.
C. TERMINATION OF A JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
In April 2005, a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer corporation
elected, and the Company agreed, to cease the joint development of
certain technology and to terminate the agreement entered into between
the parties in May 2002 described in Note 12B(3) to the 2004 audited
consolidated financial statements ("the Original Agreement").
According to the terms of the termination agreement, the Japanese
manufacturer paid an amount of $2,500 in April 2005. In addition, each
party expressly released the other party from any obligations or
liabilities of any nature in connection with the Original Agreement.
The license rights granted to the parties continue pursuant to the
terms of the Original Agreement. Subsequent to the termination of the
agreement, and as a result of its termination, during the second
quarter of 2005, the Company recognized revenues in the aggregate
amount of $8,000.

D. CONTEMPLATED RIGHTS OFFERING
In July 2005, the Company filed in Israel and the U.S. a preliminary
prospectus for the distribution of transferable rights to purchase up
to $50,000 principal of convertible debentures of the Company. The
rights will be distributed to the shareholders of the Company on the
record date and certain employees who on the record date hold options
to purchase the Company's Ordinary Shares under share option plans
that entitle the option holders to participate in a rights offering.
Each recipient will receive one right for each 138.68 Ordinary Shares
or employee options held on the record date. Each right will entitle
the recipient to purchase, at a subscription price of $100.00, 100
debentures, each of $1.00 in principal amount. The debentures are
convertible into Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion rate
of one Ordinary Share per each $1.10 amount of outstanding principal
of the debentures. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments and
the debentures may be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of
the Company under certain circumstances. The debentures will bear
interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Principal, together with accrued
interest, is payable in one installment in 2011.
The rights are expected to be listed for trading for a single day on
the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The
debentures are expected to be listed and quoted on these Exchanges.
Certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer Partners have
committed and are obligated to invest $24,500 in the framework of the
rights offering.
The payment of the principal and the interest on the debentures is
subordinated to the prior payment of all amounts payable by the
Company to the Banks under the Facility Agreement. The debentures are
also effectively subordinated to amounts which the Company might owe
to the Investment Center of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade
and Labor and to one of the Company's customers.
Completion of the rights offering is subject to the prospectus being
declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and
the Israel Securities Authority.
E. In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the increase
of the authorized share capital of the Company from 250,000,000 to
500,000,000 shares, subject to shareholders approval.

NOTE 6 - MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI AND U.S. GAAP
With regard to the Company's interim financial statements, the material
differences between GAAP in Israel and in the U.S. relate to the following.
See F below for the presentation of the Company's unaudited balance sheet
as of June 30, 2005 in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A. PRESENTATION OF DESIGNATED CASH AND SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM
INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's designated cash,
short-term and long-term interest-bearing deposits should be excluded
from current assets and long-term investments and presented separately
as a non-current asset. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, $16,953 was
reclassified from current assets to a long-term asset (as of December
31, 2004 - $53,793 and $5,134, were reclassified from current assets
and long-term investments, respectively, to a long-term asset).
B. PRESENTATION OF NET LONG-TERM LIABILITIES IN RESPECT OF EMPLOYEES
Under U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities relating to severance
arrangements are to be presented separately and are not to be offset,
while according to Israeli GAAP such an offset is required.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, an amount of $15,306 was
reclassified from other long-term liabilities to long-term investments
(as of December 31, 2004 - $16,350).
C. HEDGING ACTIVITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP (SFAS 133)
Complying with SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 and the related interpretations
thereon with respect to the Company's hedging transactions as of June
30, 2005 would have resulted in: an increase in other long-term
investments in the amount of $878; an increase in other long-term
liabilities in the amount of $1,299; a decrease in other comprehensive
loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the net amount of
$2,649; an accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity
balance as of June 30, 2005 in the amount of $ 4,406; and in a
decrease of $3,955 in property and equipment, net as of June 30, 2005.

Had compensation cost for the Company's share option plans been
determined based on fair value at the grant dates for awards made
through June 30, 2005 in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS
148, the Company's pro forma loss and loss per share would have been

E. SALE OF SECURITIES
Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 ("APB 14"), the
proceeds from the sale of the securities in January 2002 are to be
allocated to each of the securities issued based on their relative
fair value, while according to Israeli GAAP such treatment is not
required. Complying with APB 14, based on the average market value of
each of the securities issued in the first three days following their
issuance (in January 2002), would have resulted in an increase in
shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 in the
amount of $2,363 (net of $196 related issuance expenses), and a
decrease in convertible debentures as of such dates in the amount of
$2,559. The effect of amortization of the discount on the convertible
debentures under U.S.GAAP for the periods ended at such dates would
have been immaterial.

===== =====
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
TOTAL REVENUES. Total Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005
decreased by 17.3% to $50.4 million from $60.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004. This $10.5 million decrease was attributable to lower volume of
wafer shipments, which was offset by increased revenues from a joint development
agreement of certain technology with a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had four significant
customers who contributed between 6% and 29% of our revenues.
COST OF TOTAL REVENUES. Cost of total revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 totaled $122.5 million, compared with $104.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was mainly due to an increase in
depreciation and amortization expenses.
GROSS LOSS. Gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $72.1
million compared to a gross loss of $43.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004. The increase in gross loss was attributable to the decrease in total
revenues and to the increased cost of total revenues.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $8.6 million from $7.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to an
increase in the amortization of intellectual property software and CAD
(computer-assisted-design) tools used in design and development activities.
Research and development expenses are reflected net of participation grants
received from the Israeli government ($0.5 million and $1.1 million, for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively).
MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Marketing, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $8.8
million from $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, primarily due
to lower sales related expenses as well as to cost reductions and efficiency
measures taken by the Company.
OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$89.5 million, compared to $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
The increase in the operating loss is attributable mainly to the increase in the
gross loss.
FINANCING EXPENSES, NET. Financing expenses, net, for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 were $15.5 million compared to financing expenses, net, of $13.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is mainly due to
an increase of $3.7 million in connection with our Fab 2 facility agreement
attributable to (i) an increase during the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the
total amount of long-term loans which financed the construction and equipping of
Fab 2, and (ii) the increase in the LIBOR rate from approximately 1% for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 to approximately 2.8% for the six months ended June
30, 2005 (the loans bear interest at a rate of Libor + 2.5% per annum).
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net, for the six months ended June 30,
2005 was $2.5 million compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was attributable
mainly to insurance proceeds related to damage caused to equipment.
LOSS. Our loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $102.6 million,
compared to $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is
primarily attributable to the increased operating loss of $27.7 million and the
increase in financing expenses, net of $2.2 million offset by increased other
income, net of $2.4 million.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
The dollar cost of our operations in Israel is influenced by the timing of
any change in the rate of inflation in Israel and the extent to which such
change is not offset by the change in valuation of the NIS in relation to the
dollar. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the dollar was devaluated
against the NIS by 6.2%, and the Israeli Consumer Price Index, or CPI, increased
by 0.5%. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the dollar rose in value
against the NIS by 2.7%, while the CPI in Israel increased by 1.4%.
We believe that the rate of inflation in Israel has not had a material
effect on our business to date. However, our dollar costs will increase if
inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the NIS against the dollar, or if
the timing of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel.
Almost all of the cash generated from our operations and from our financing
and investing activities is denominated in U.S. dollars and NIS. Our expenses
and costs are denominated in NIS, U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Euros. We are,
therefore, exposed to the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2005, we had an aggregate of $40.4 million in cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term interest-bearing deposits, of which $5.5 million was
contractually restricted for Fab 2 use only and $11.4 million was contractually
restricted for exclusive use in the Siliconix project. This compares to $61.4
million we had as of June 30, 2004 in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and
interest-bearing deposits, of which $42.3 million was contractually restricted
for Fab 2 use only. In addition, as of June 30, 2004, we had $4.9 million in
long-term interest-bearing deposits which was contractually restricted for Fab 2
use only. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we received $4.4 million
from Investment Center grants and $1.7 million in proceeds from disposal of
property. Our investments made during the six months ended June 30, 2005
aggregated to $27.7 million mainly in connection with the construction, and
purchase and installation of equipment and other assets, of Fab 2.
As of June 30, 2005, we had long-term loans in the amount of $497 million
in connection with the loans we obtained during 2004, 2003 and 2002 for the
establishment of Fab 2. In August 2005, we received additional loans from our
banks of $13.4 million, such that as of August 31, 2005 our total bank loans
amounted to $510.4 million.

We completed the construction of the building and infrastructure of Fab 2
during the third quarter of 2003 and since then have been in the process of
ramping-up Fab 2, our new advanced wafer facility adjacent to Fab 1 in Migdal
Haemek, Israel. Production capacity of Fab 2 at the end of June 2005 was 14,600
wafers per month. We currently expect to have production capacity of 15,400
wafers per month by the end of 2005, of which approximately 800 wafers per month
are expected to be in 0.13-micron. As of June 30, 2005, we had received a total
of $1,171 million for Fab 2, as set forth below in tabular form. The remainder
of the Fab 2 ramp up costs may be funded by additional grants available from the
Investment Center, sales of our securities, additional loans, including from our
banks, wafer prepayments from our customers, cash flow from operations and/or
from other sources.
During the first half of 2005 and in recent years, we have experienced
significant recurring losses from operations and recurring negative cash flows
from operating activities and an increasing accumulated deficit. According to
our approved short-term working plan, based on the current prevailing
semiconductor market conditions, in the event we raise in a timely manner
approximately $60,000 in funds as contemplated by an amendment to the facility
agreement with our banks that was signed in July 2005, and by the commitments of
certain of our equity investors and wafer partners, we will still need to raise
additional funds in order to finance our short-term activities and liabilities
in 2006, at least until we achieve positive cash flow from our operations. See
Note 4B to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as
of June 30, 2005 for details concerning recent amendments to the financial
ratios and covenants through the third quarter of 2006 under the amended
facility agreement with our banks, which were obtained subsequent to a waiver
letter agreement signed between us and our banks in January 2005.
In light of the financing requirements described above, we have been taking
comprehensive measures to obtain the needed funds for our near-term ongoing
operations, as well as to reduce our short-term liabilities. We have also
implemented cost reduction measures, including measures to reduce expenses, cost
structure and cash burn, and in March 2005, we completed a workforce cutback, as
part of an across-the-board savings plan focused on operational efficiencies. In
this regard, we have been holding discussions with certain of our equity
investors, wafer partners and our banks, to provide additional funding of an
aggregate amount of approximately $60 million. Consequently, we signed an
amendment to the facility agreement with our banks in July 2005, which closed in
August 2005. As set forth in the amendment, our banks agreed to provide us with
up to approximately $30 million through the end of March 2006, of which $13.4
million was drawn down in August 2005, provided that we raise a similar amount
from investors. As of August 31, 2005, certain of our equity investors and wafer
partners have committed and are obligated to invest $25.5 million in the
framework of a rights offering.

The following chart illustrates the amounts received from various financial
sources that funded the construction and ramp-up of Fab 2, as of June 30, 2005
and the amounts expected to be received from various sources for that purpose as
of that date. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain funds from
these sources as expected due to poor conditions in capital markets, poor
conditions in the semiconductor market, failure to benefit from upswings in the
semiconductor market or other factors, any or all of which may affect our
ability to raise funds. If we do not satisfy our need for funds for Fab 2 or if
the timing of the receipt of financing lags behind the timing of expenses, we
may from time to time experience a lack of liquidity for our activities. The
table does not reflect the amendment to the facility agreement that was signed
in July 2005 with our banks that provides for financing in the amount of up to
$30 million through the end of March 2006 nor the commitments of our equity
investors and wafer partners to invest $25.5 million in the framework of a
rights offering.

(1) Under Israeli Law, we are required to complete our approved investment
program for Fab 2 by the end of 2005. Currently, we do not expect to complete
our investments by December 2005 and failure to achieve a satisfactory
arrangement with the Investment Center by way of an expansion plan may result in
the cancellation of all or a portion of our grants, including those expected to
be received subsequent to December 31, 2005, and the Investment Center may
require us to repay all or a portion of grants already received.
(2) Under the credit facility agreement, we are required to comply with
minimum production capacity milestones and maintain certain financial ratios and
additional conditions and covenants.
(3) Under the amendments to our Fab 2 credit facility, we are required to
raise additional financing from specified sources by various prescribed dates in
