                          Amiad Filtration Systems Ltd
                           ("Amiad" or "the Company")

                                 TRADING UPDATE

Amiad, a leading producer and supplier of water filters and filtration systems
for the industrial, municipal and the irrigation markets, provides the following
trading update based on unaudited results for the year ended 31 December 2006,
ahead of the release of its full year audited results on 26 March 2007.

The Company is pleased to report that it saw a recovery in the second half of
the year, primarily in the industrial and municipal segments. Whilst good 
progress was made in all territories, there was particularly good progress made 
in China and Australia. The Company also delivered its first water treatment
project in Russia and initiated sales into India during the second half. As a 
result, revenues grew by close to 10% in the second half of the year compared 
with the same period last year.

The Company expects to report full year results in line with market 
expectations. Revenues for the full year are likely to increase by approximately 
5% to just over $44m compared with $42.4m in 2005.

Looking forward, sales of Amiad's thread filters have continued to gain traction
into the New Year and although still account for a relatively small fraction of
the business look set to achieve significant growth in the current year. 
Additionally, plans to increase the Company's footprint in new territories are 
well advanced. Despite the impact of continued weakness in the US dollar and 
high material prices, the Company looks forward to delivering further gradual 
growth in 2007.
