Dear Mr. Eibushitz:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have
addressed in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should
revise your document in response to these comments. If you
disagree,
we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is
inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed
as
necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may
ask
you to provide us with information so we may better understand
your
disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise
additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of

Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004
Consolidated Financial Statements
Independent Auditors` Report, page F-2
1. We see that your auditors` report relies on the audit reports
issued by other independent public accountants for certain
consolidated subsidiaries as of and for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2004. Please amend your Form 20-F
to
include the reports of the other accountants as required by Rule
2-05
of Regulation S-X.
Note 1 - General, page F-10
2. We note that you have significantly reduced the activity of
MemCall and that beginning in 2004, the subsidiary has become
operationally inactive. Until 2003, MemCall was accounted for as
an
individual business sector. Tell us how you considered whether
the
MemCall should be reported as a discontinued operation under
paragraphs 41 - 44 of SFAS 144 for U.S. GAAP purposes.
As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to
these
comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide
us
with a response. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of
the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and
provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters
greatly
facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have
additional
comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our
comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the
filing includes all information required under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information
investors require for an informed decision. Since the company and
its management are in possession of all facts relating to a
company`s
disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
the
disclosures they have made.
In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:
* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with
respect to the filing; and
* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in
response to our comments on your filing.
You may contact Kristin Lochhead at (202) 551-3664 or me at
(202) 551-3671 if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Martin F. James
Senior Assistant Chief
Accountant
