operations of $1,331,000(2001 restated-$1,204,000). Earnings per share were

(2001-Nil).
TRADING REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Our main trading subsidiary, Gal-Kar Marketing (1995) Ltd. has continued to
perform satisfactorily in very difficult market conditions, with a continued
increase in turnover and operating profit.
As a result of the termination of the Creditors' Arrangement (see below), your
Company is now in a position, for the first time in many years, to expand its
activities. In January 2003,we entered into an Agreement to appoint Tec-Biz Ltd,
a UK Marketing Company as our Representative in Europe. Tec-Biz has been
involved for many years in opening European channels of business, and has
particular expertise in the area of water coolers and ancillary products. We
believe that our products, which have been selling in ever-increasing numbers in
Israel, are well suited to the European market, and we have high hopes that this
will prove to be an exciting new development. However, we do not expect
significant sales until 2004 at the earliest.
CREDITORS' ARRANGEMENT
Selector Ltd. entered into a Creditors' Arrangement in September 1999, and this
was terminated by order of the Court in December 2002. The creditors were paid
partly in cash, and partly in shares, with approximately 7.5 million new shares
being issued in January 2003, representing about 28% of the enlarged capital.
The effect on your Company's Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet, as a
result of the finalization of the Creditors' Arrangement, has been beneficial,
with substantial exceptional credits to Profit and Loss Account, and a reduction
in Liabilities.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
A placing of shares to raise up to #150,000 at a price of 3p per share is being
undertaken, and the current indications are that this will be successful. The
venture into Europe should see the beginning of an exciting new era in the
history of the Company.
DIRECTORS AND STAFF
Once again, I feel that a special mention should be made of our loyal directors
and staff. The company is very grateful to all of them, and special tribute
should be paid to our Chief Executive, Ronen Levy, whose continuing hard work
and perseverance in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles is finally
getting its rewards.
