We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crow Technologies 1977 Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated 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 did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries whose assets constitute approximately 5.39% and 7.95% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and whose revenues constitute approximately 6.03%, 5.17% and 6.58% of total consolidated revenues for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements of those companies were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for those companies, is based on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel, including those prescribed by the Auditors' Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the board of directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in their equity and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel ("Israeli GAAP") which differ in certain respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1:- GENERAL a. Crow Technologies 1977 Ltd. (the "Company" or "Crow Technologies") designs, develops, manufactures, sells and distributes a broad range of sophisticated security detection and alarm systems for use in commercial and industrial facilities, residential homes and open areas. The Company operates mainly through its subsidiaries, Crow Electronic Engineering Ltd. ("Orev"), Arrow Head Alarm Products Limited, Crow Latin America, Freelink Ltd. and Video Domain Technologies Ltd. The Company also operates through various controlled corporations. b. In August 2011, the Company signed a binding agreement with the minority shareholders of Crow Australia, the Company's subsidiary, of selling the whole of the Company's holdings in the subsidiary (60% of Crow Australia issued and outstanding shares) for an amount of AUD 2. According to the agreement the Company waived on a shareholder's loan previously granted to the subsidiary in a total amount of AUD 535 thousand (approximately NIS 1,950 thousand). c. In October 2011, Orev through its subsidiary Video Domain Technologies Ltd ("Video Domain") established jointly with Bluecell AB ("Bluecell") and Cabs Digital AB ("Cabs Digital") Mikrodust AB ("Mikrodust") a Swedish private company with a paid- in share capital of 51,000 Swedish kronor (approximately NIS 28 thousand) with a nominal value per share of 1 SEK, and each party to the agreement was granted approximately 33% of Mikrodust's share capital. According to the agreement, Video Domain furnished Mikrodust with a conditional shareholder's contribution in the amount of EURO 600 thousand (approximately NIS 3,000 thousand). The said shareholders' contribution is conditional in the sense that it may be repaid to Video Domain in the event that Mikrodust will generate accumulated profits after December 31, 2013 which may be distributed as dividends in accordance with law. Such repayment shall however not exceed 50% of the available profits distributable as dividends, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties to this agreement. d. In January 2012, Orev through its subsidiary Freelink LTD ("Freelink") established Freelink Italia SRL ("Freelink IT") an Italian private company with a paid- in share capital of 100,000 EURO with a nominal value per share of 1 EURO. Until December 16, 2013, Freelink IT leased a production site from an Italian company. On February 6, 2014 Freelink transferred its entire holdings (100%) in Freelink IT to a third party. The transfer was made on an AS IS basis. According to the sale agreement, Freelink paid the sum of EURO 316,000 to Freelink IT for settlement of outstanding debts of Freelink IT to employees, suppliers and service providers. Moreover, Freelink waived on a shareholder's loan, previously granted to Freelink IT, at the amount of EURO 1.6 million (approximately NIS 7.6 million) as of December 31, 2013. - 10 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.) e. In 2013, the Company acquired additional 50% of the share capital of Actech Access Technologies Ltd. (hereafter - Actech) and 52% of the share capital of Scan Vision Technologies Ltd. (hereafter - Scanvision). f. From January 1, 2013 the financial statements of Actech and Scanvison were initially consolidated due to the increase in the holding percentage (the investment in these companies was presented on the basis of proportionate consolidation until the date on which it was fully consolidated). Since the Company guaranteed to all of Actech and Scanvison losses, the Company included all of their losses in the Company's consolidated financial statements before the additional increase in holdings and no material effect was recorded at the date of the Company increased its holding percentage. g. The Company has two major customers which generate a significant portion of its revenues. The deferral or loss of sales to such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. h. Definitions: Group - The Company and its subsidiaries (as stated in the Appendix to consolidated financial statements) Related parties - As defined in Opinion No. 29 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel ("the Israeli Institute"). Subsidiaries - Companies over which the Company has control (as defined in Opinion 57 of the Israeli Institute) and whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company. Jointly controlled entities - Companies owned by various entities that have a contractual arrangement for joint control, and whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company using the proportionate consolidation method. Affiliates - Companies over which the Company has significant influence and that are not subsidiaries. The Company's investment therein is included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company using the equity method. Other company - A company in which the Company is invested which is not an affiliate. Included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company at cost. - 11 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, which differ in certain aspects from those followed in the United States (see also Note 21). The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements on a consistent basis, are as follows: a. b. Reporting basis of the financial statements: 1. In the past, the Company prepared its financial statements based on the historical cost convention adjusted for the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("Israeli CPI"). The adjusted amounts, as included in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, served as a starting point for nominal financial reporting beginning January 1, 2004. Additions made after the transition date are included at nominal values. 2. In accordance with Accounting Standard No. 12 with respect to the discontinuance of the adjustment of financial statements, the adjustment of financial statements for the effects of inflation was discontinued on December 31, 2003 and, as of that date, the Company began preparing its financial statements in reported amounts. 3. The amounts for non-monetary assets do not necessarily represent realizable value or current economic value, but only the reported amounts for those assets. 4. Cost in these financial statements represents cost in the reported amount. Functional and foreign currencies: 1. Functional and presentation currencies: The financial statements are presented in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), which is the Company's functional currency. The functional currency, which is the currency that best reflects the economic environment in which the Company operates and conducts its transactions, is separately determined for each Group entity, including an associate presented using equity accounting, and is used to measure its financial position and operating results. When a Group's entity functional currency differs from the presentation currency, that entity represents a foreign operation whose financial statements are translated so that they can be included in the consolidated financial statements as follows: a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented (including comparative data) are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet. - 12 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b) Income and expenses for each period presented in the statement of income (including comparative data) are translated at average exchange rates for the presented periods; however, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions. c) Share capital, capital reserves and other changes in capital are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of incurrence. d) Retained earnings are translated based on the opening balance translated at the exchange rate at that date and other relevant transactions (such as dividends) during the period are translated as described in b) and c) above. e) All resulting translation differences are recognized as a separate component of capital reserve in equity "foreign currency translation adjustments". On full or partial disposal of a foreign operation, the amount in the capital reserve relating to that foreign operation is recognized in the statement of income. Intergroup loans for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are, in substance, a part of the investment in that foreign operation and are accounted for as part of the investment and the exchange differences arising in these loans (net of income taxes) are recognized in the same component of equity as discussed in e) above. Exchange differences in respect of a loan in foreign currency that constitutes a net investment hedge are recorded net of income taxes in the same component of equity as discussed in e) above. On disposal of the net investment, these translation differences are recognized in the statement of income. 2. Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency: Transactions denominated in foreign currency (other than the functional currency) are recorded on initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at each balance sheet date into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange rate differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or carried directly to equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in the statement of income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are retranslated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. - 13 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 3. Convenience translation into U.S. dollars ("U.S. dollars" or "U.S. $"): The financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended have been translated into U.S. dollars using the representative exchange rate as that date (U.S.$ 1 = NIS 3.471). The translation was made solely for the convenience of the reader. The amounts presented in these financial statements should not be construed to represent amounts receivable or payable in U.S. dollars or convertible into U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated in these statements. c. Consolidated financial statements: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of companies over which the Company exercises control. Jointly controlled entities are included by the proportionate consolidation method. Significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. d. Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits purchased with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. e. Allowance for doubtful accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined in respect of specific debts whose collection, in the opinion of the Company's management, is doubtful. The Company also recognizes a provision for groups of customers that are collectively assessed for impairment based on their credit risk characteristics. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. f. Inventories: Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling costs. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, excess inventories, discontinued products, new products introduction and for market prices lower than cost. Any write-off is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as cost of sales. - 14 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) Cost of inventories is assigned as follows: Raw materials - by the moving weighted average method. Work in progress and finished goods - on the basis of average costs which take into account materials, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makes provisions for slow moving inventories accordingly. g. Investment in affiliate: The investment in an affiliate over which the Company can exercise significant influence (generally entities in which the Company holds 20%-50%, except for jointly controlled entities) is presented using the equity method of accounting. In an affiliate where the affiliate has incurred losses in amounts above its book value, the Company has written its share in the affiliate's losses as aforesaid up to the level of its investment in the affiliate, plus the loss the Company might incur subsequent of a guaranty given for that affiliate. The Company evaluates, every reporting period, the need to record impairment in accordance with Accounting Standard No. 15 (see Note 2j hereunder). h. Property and equipment: Items of property and equipment are measured at cost with the addition of direct acquisition costs, less accumulated depreciation, less accumulated impairment losses and excluding day-to-day servicing expenses. Cost includes spare parts and auxiliary equipment that can be used only in connection with the machinery and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets at annual rates as follows: % Machinery and equipment Motor vehicles Computers, office furniture and equipment Leasehold improvements 10% 15% 6% - 33% See below Average % 25% Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term (including the extension option held by the Group and intended to be exercised) and the expected life of the assets. - 15 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) The residual value and useful life of an asset are reviewed at least each year-end and the changes are accounted for as a prospective change in accounting estimate. As for testing the impairment of property and equipment (see Note 2j below). i. Other assets: Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are included at the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at their cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. According to management's assessment, intangible assets have a finite useful life. The assets are amortized over their useful life using the straight-line method and reviewed for Impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for as prospective changes in accounting estimates. The amortization charge on intangible assets with finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income. The useful life of intangible assets are as follows: Years Acquired technology Customer relationships Trade name j. 5.25 5.25 8.25 Impairment of assets: 1. Impairment of non-financial assets: The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of the carrying amount of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price and value in use. In measuring value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of the following specific asset: - 16 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) Goodwill regarding consolidated companies: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment once a year on December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is impairment. Impairment for goodwill is recognized by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill belongs. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, no impairment losses have been identified. 2. Impairment of investments in other companies: The Company generally evaluates the fair value of its investments in each reporting period and whenever changes in circumstances or occurrence of other events indicate a decline in value that is other than temporary. The evaluation of the fair value takes into consideration, among others, the market value of the investments (in respect of investments in marketable securities), estimates of analysts and valuations of the investments, the conditions of the industry in which the portfolio company is operating, the portfolio company's business condition, off-market transactions in the portfolio company's securities, prices of equity transactions in the portfolio company and additional information that the portfolio company presents to its Board of Directors (if the Company is represented on the board) or to its shareholders. Based on the results of the above evaluation, the Company, if necessary, recognizes an impairment loss that is other than temporary in the statement of income. The Company's investments in other companies are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2011, based on management most recent analysis, and available information, impairment losses have been identified in the amount of NIS 454 thousand (approximately USD 200 thousand) related to the investment in Btendo and NIS 370 thousand (approximately USD 100 thousand) related to the investment in SPO. Accordingly, an impairment of NIS 1,124 thousand was recognized, as a separate line, in other expense at the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2013, based on management most recent analysis and available information, no any impairment loss has been identified. - 17 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) k. Taxes on income: Taxes on income in the statement of income comprise current and deferred taxes. The tax results in respect of current or deferred taxes are carried to the statement of income except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in equity. In such cases, the tax effect is also carried to the relevant item in equity. 1. Current taxes: The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years. 2. Deferred taxes: Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes, except in a limited number of exceptions. Deferred taxes are carried directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are taken to equity. Deferred tax balances are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the taxes are taken to the statement of income or to equity, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The amount for deferred taxes in the statement of income represents the changes in those balances during the reported period, excluding changes attributable to items carried directly to equity. Taxes that would apply in the event of the sale of investments in investees have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as long as the sale of the investments in investees is not expected in the foreseeable future. Also, deferred taxes that would apply in the event of distribution of earnings by investees as dividends have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, since the distribution of dividends does not involve an additional tax liability or since it is the Company's policy not to initiate distribution of dividends that triggers an additional tax liability. Deferred taxes are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off a current tax asset against a current tax liability and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxpayer and the same taxation authority. - 18 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) l. Severance pay: The Company's liability for severance pay for its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to the Israeli 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 whose employment is terminated by the Company are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof in accordance with Israeli law or labor agreements. The Company's liability for most of its Israeli employees is partly provided by monthly deposits for insurance policies. The value of these policies is recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheet net of any related accrued severance pay. Starting May 2008 (the "transition date"), several employees are included under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963 ("Section 14") for severance pay accumulated in periods of employment subsequent to the transition date. In accordance with Section 14, upon termination, the release of the contributed amounts from the fund to the employee shall relieve the Company from any further severance liability and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee. As a result, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as the Company is legally released from severance obligation to employees once the amounts have been deposited, and the Company has no further legal ownership of the amounts deposited. The deposited funds for the Company's employees include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes immaterial profits or losses. The amounts accrued in several managers' insurance policies and provident funds on behalf of the employees and the related liabilities are not reflected in the balance sheet since the funds are not under the control and management of the Company. m. Presentation of transactions between the Company and the controlling shareholder therein: The Accounting Standard No. 23 of the Israel Accounting Standards Board ("the Standard") provides that the assets and liabilities involved in a transaction between a company and its controlling shareholder or between companies under common control be recognized at their fair value on the date of the transaction. The difference between the fair value and the consideration stipulated in the transaction is to be recorded in shareholders' equity, net of any tax effect. A charge to equity essentially constitutes a dividend, consequently resulting in a reduction in retained earnings. A credit to equity essentially constitutes an investment by shareholders and, consequently, is presented as a separate component of shareholders' equity, "Capital reserve from transactions with a controlling shareholder". - 19 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) If the company is not wholly owned by the controlling shareholder, the minority's share of the difference, whether a charge or credit, is recorded in "minority interest" in the statement of income. The amount recorded in shareholders' equity will not be transferred to the statement of income, even if in subsequent periods, the items that were the subject of the transactions are derecognized from the financial statements. n. Revenue recognition: Revenues are recognized in the statement on income when they can be measured reliably, the economic benefits associated with the transaction are expected to flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration in the transaction less commercial rebates, volume discounts and returns. Hereunder the specific criterions to revenue recognition for the following type of revenues: 1. Revenues from the sale of goods: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the seller no longer retains continuing managerial involvement. The delivery date is usually the date on which ownership passes. 2. Revenues from the rendering of services: Revenues from the rendering of services are recognized by reference to the stage of completion at the reporting date. The stage of completion is measured based on the proportion of actual labor hours incurred to the estimated total labor hours for the entire service contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred are recoverable. 3. Interest income: Interest income on financial assets is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method. 4. Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue represents amounts received by the Company when the criteria for revenue recognition as described above are not met and are included in "Other accounts payable and accrued expenses". - 20 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) o. Research and development costs: Research and development costs are charged to the statement of income as incurred. p. Earnings (loss) per share: The Company applies the provisions of Israel Accounting Standard No. 21, "Earnings per Share" ("Standard No. 21"). The computation of basic net income per share is generally based on earnings available for distribution to holders of ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted net income per share, the weighted average number of shares to be issued, assuming that all dilutive potential shares are converted into shares is to be added to the average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of the basic income per share. Potential shares are taken into account, as above, only when their effect is dilutive (reducing net income or increasing loss per share from continuing activities). q. Provision for warranty: The Company generally provides one to five years warranty for all of its products depending on commercial arrangements with customers. A provision is recorded for estimated warranty at the time revenues are recognized based on the Company's experience (see also Note 15). r. Fair value of financial instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company and its subsidiaries in estimating their fair value disclosures for financial instruments: The carrying amount reported for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, net, other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, short-term bank loans and bank credit, trade payables and other accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of loans to jointly controlled entities and to an affiliate approximates their fair value. The carrying amount of the Company's long-term loans from banks and current maturities of long-term loans from banks approximates its fair value. The fair value was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's incremental loans rates for similar type of loans arrangement. - 21 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) s. Concentrations of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and loans from minority interest in subsidiaries. The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in major Israeli banks. Generally, these cash and cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand and therefore management believes that it bears lower risk. The Company's trade receivables are mainly derived from sales to customers located primarily in Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand, Asia and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to amounts that are doubtful of collection. t. Use of estimates for the preparation of financial statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The changes in the estimations are erected in the reporting period in which the change in the estimation was made. u. Derivatives and hedging activities: Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in shareholders' equity as "Capital reserve from hedging transactions" until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain cash flow foreign currency exposures in order to reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency risks. v. Reclassification: Certain figures have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported net income (loss), equity or cash flows. - 22 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD.

Decisions regarding the management of market risks as above and regarding the investment of liquid means are made on an ongoing basis by the Company's management and are occasionally brought before the Board of Directors for its discussion and resolution. a. Market risks: Foreign currency risk: The Group operates in a large number of countries and is exposed to foreign currency risk resulting from the exposure to different currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Foreign currency risk arises from recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a different currency from the functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. In addition, the majority of the Group's income is denominated in U.S. dollars and Euro or in a currency linked thereto whereas most of the Group's inputs are purchased at prices linked to the U.S. dollar exchange rate. b.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17:- TAXES ON INCOME a. Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 ("the inflationary adjustments law"). Under the inflationary adjustments law, until the end of 2007 results for tax purposes were measured in real terms, adjusted to the changes in the CPI. In February 2008, the "Knesset" (Israeli parliament) passed an amendment to the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, which limits the scope of the law starting 2008 and thereafter. Starting 2008, the results for tax purposes are measured in nominal values, excluding certain adjustments for changes in the Consumer Price Index carried out in the period up to December 31, 2007. The amended law includes, inter alia, the elimination of the inflationary additions and deductions and the additional deduction for depreciation starting 2008. b. Tax rates: The Israeli corporate tax rate was 24% in 2011, 25% in 2012 and 2013. From January 1, 2014 and onwards the tax rate increased to 26.5%. On December 5, 2011, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Law") which, among others, cancels effective from 2012, the scheduled progressive reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increases the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012. In view of this increase in the corporate tax rate to 25% in 2012, the real capital gains tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly. On July 30, 2013, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) approved the second and third readings of the Economic Plan for 2013-2014 ("Amended Budget Law") which consists, among others, of fiscal changes whose main aim is to enhance long-term collection of taxes. These changes include, among others, raising the Israeli corporate tax rate from 25% to 26.5%, cancelling the lowering of the tax rates applicable to preferred enterprises (2% in development area A and 13% in other areas), taxing revaluation gains and increasing the tax rates on dividends within the scope of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments to 20% effective from January 1, 2014. The Company estimates that the effect of the change in tax rates will lead to an increase in deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2013 in a total of approximately NIS 460 thousand. - 33 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.) c. Tax benefits under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"): The Company and Orev's production facilities in Israel have been granted an "Approved Enterprise" status under the above law. Five programs have been granted the status of an "Approved Enterprise" and two expansion programs have been granted the status of a "Beneficiary Enterprise" (under the new amendment to the law). According to the provisions of such Israeli law, the Company has been granted an "Alternative Benefit" status, under which the main benefits are tax exemption and a reduced tax rate. Consequently, the Company's income derived from the "Approved Enterprise" is tax exempt for a period of two years and for an additional period of five to eight years is subject to a reduced tax rate of 10% - 25% (based on the percentage of foreign ownership in each taxable year). In the context of these benefits, on that part of its taxable income deriving from the approved enterprise in development region A, Orev is entitled to tax exemption over the benefit period, and on the part of its taxable income deriving from the approved enterprise, which is not in development region A, Orev is entitled to a tax exemption over the first two years of the benefit period and to an additional period of five to eight years with reduced tax rates of 10%-25% (based on percentage of foreign ownership). Part of the taxable income deriving from the approved enterprise out of total taxable income is determined as the rate of increase in turnover in each year of the tax benefits compared to the base year, is linked to the Israeli Wholesale Price Index or linked to the change in the rate of the U.S. dollar. The period of tax benefits, detailed above, is subject to limits of the earlier of 12 years from the commencement of production, or 14 years from the approval date. If the retained tax-exempt profits are distributed, they 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 20%-25% for an "Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise". On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Law came into effect ("the Amendment") and has significantly changed the provisions of the 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 a "Beneficiary Enterprise" (rather than the previous terminology of Approved Enterprise), such as a provision requiring that at least 25% of the "Beneficiary Enterprise's" income will be derived from export to specific markets with a population of at least 12 million. - 34 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.) Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits. Rather, a company may claim the tax benefits offered by the Investment Law directly in its tax returns, provided that its facilities meet the criteria for tax benefits set out by the Amendment. A company is also granted a right to approach the Israeli Tax Authorities for a pre-ruling regarding their eligibility for benefits under the Amendment. The period of tax benefits for a new "Beneficiary Enterprise" commences in the "Year of Commencement". This year is the later of: (1) the year in which taxable income is first generated by the company, or (2) a year selected by the company for commencement, on the condition that the company meets certain provisions provided by the Law ("Year of Election"). However, the Law provides that terms and benefits included in any letter of approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the Law as they were on the date of such approval. Therefore, the Company's existing "Approved Enterprises" programs will generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of the Amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the new law, will subject the Company to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and the Company may be required in the future to record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income. The tax-exempt income attributable to the "approved enterprise" and "beneficiary enterprise" of Orev as of December 31, 2013, amounted to approximately NIS 93,541 thousand. Orev has decided not to declare dividends out of such tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no deferred income tax liability has been provided on income attributable to Orev's tax-exempt income. Assuming the Company will declare dividends out of such tax-exempt income, it will be required to pay an amount of NIS 18,708 thousand (U.S. $ 5,390 thousand) as of December 31, 2013. In November 2012, the Knesset passed Amendment No. 69 to the Investment Law (the "Trapped Earnings Law") which provides a temporary, partial, relief from taxation on a distribution from exempt income for companies which elect the relief through November 2013. The Trapped Earnings Law allows a company to qualify a portion of its exempt income ("Elected Earnings") for a reduced tax rate ranging between 17.5% and 6%. While the reduced tax is payable within 30 days of election, an electing company is not required to actually distribute the Elected Earnings within a certain period of time. The applicable rate is based on a linear formula involving the portion of Elected Earnings to exempt income and the applicable tax rate prescribed in the Investment Law. A company electing to qualify its exempt income must undertake to make designated investments in productive fixed assets, research and development, or wages of new employees ("Designated Investment"). The Designated Investment amount is defined by a formula which considers the portion of Elected Earnings to the exempt income and the applicable tax rate prescribed by the Investment Law. - 35 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.) In addition to the reduced tax rate a distribution of Elected Earnings would be subject to a 15% withholding tax. The Trapped Earnings Law provides an exemption from the 15% withholding tax for a distribution to an Israeli resident company from companies which have elected the Privileged Enterprise status and waived their Approved Enterprise and privileged Enterprise Status through June 2015. The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the specific investments in "Approved Enterprises" or "Beneficiary Enterprise". In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, in whole or in part, the Company may be required to pay additional taxes for the period in which it benefited from the tax exemption and would likely be denied these benefits in the future. In the event of a dividend distribution (including withdrawals and charges that are deemed to be dividends) out of the income originating from the "Approved Enterprises", income from such distributed dividend will be subject to the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative system of benefits. Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" or "Beneficiary Enterprise" during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular rate. Orev has two letters of approval under the Law, dated October 4, 1999, and an additional letter of approval, under the Law, dated July 19, 2004. According to the letters of approval, the attribution of taxable income between the activities and the several development regions is computed on the basis of the following criteria: a) b) c) Increase in the number of employees in each of the regions. Increase in the salary of the employees in each of the regions. Investment in equipment in each of the regions. In May 2004, a final performance approval from the Investment Center regarding these investments under the letter of approval dated October 4, 1999 was received. In July 2009, a final performance approval was obtained from the Investment Center regarding these investments under the letter of approval dated July 19, 2004. The Company elected the years 2007, 2009 and 2012 to be the years of election under the new "Beneficiary Enterprise" (Green track). In January 2011, the Knesset enacted a reform to the Investment Law, effective January 2011. According to the reform, a flat rate tax would apply to companies eligible for the "Preferred Enterprise" status. In order to be eligible for Preferred Enterprise status, a company must meet minimum requirements to establish that it contributes to the country's economic growth and is a competitive factor for the Gross Domestic Product (a competitive enterprise). Certain activities such as mining are excluded from the scope of a Preferred Enterprise, as are government-owned businesses. - 36 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 17:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.) Israeli companies which currently benefit from an Approved or Beneficiary Enterprise status and meet the criteria for qualification as a Preferred Enterprise can elect to apply the new Preferred Enterprise benefits by waiving their benefits under the Approved and Beneficiary Enterprise status. Benefits granted to a Preferred Enterprise include reduced and gradually decreasing tax rates. In peripheral regions (Development Area A) the reduced tax rate will be 10% in 2011 and 2012, 7% in 2013 and 2014 and 6% starting from 2015. In other regions the tax rate will be 15% in 2011 and 2012, 12.5% in 2013 and 2014 and 12% starting from 2015. Preferred Enterprises in peripheral regions will be eligible for Investment Center grants, as well as the applicable reduced tax rates. A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the "Preferred Income" would be subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli-resident individuals and non-Israeli residents (subject to applicable treaty rates). A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the "Preferred Income" would be exempt from withholding tax for an Israeli-resident company. A company electing to waive its Beneficiary Enterprise or Approved Enterprise status through June 30, 2015 may distribute "Approved Income" or "Beneficiary Income" subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli resident individuals and non-Israeli residents (subject to applicable treaty rates) and exempt from withholding tax for an Israeli-resident company. Nonetheless, a distribution from income exempt under Beneficiary Enterprise and Approved Enterprise programs will subject the exempt income to tax at the reduced corporate income tax rates pertaining to the Beneficiary Enterprise and Approved Enterprise programs upon distribution, or complete liquidation in the case of a Beneficiary Enterprise's exempt income. The Company has tested the influence of the amendment to the Law on its financial statements, and as of the publication of the reports the Company estimates that it will not move under the initiation of the Law as of the tax year of 2013, and according to that has not updated the deferred taxes balances as of December 31, 2013. This estimation of the Company might change in the future until the submission of the final decision to the tax authorities, as stated in the amendment to the Law. d. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969: An "Industrial Company", as defined by this law and, as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly accelerated depreciation rates for machinery and equipment, as prescribed by regulations published under the inflationary adjustments law.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 21:- EFFECT OF MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI GAAP AND U.S. GAAP ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel ("Israeli GAAP"), which differ in certain respects from those followed in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), as described below: a. Accrued severance pay: According to U.S. GAAP, accrued severance pay and related funded amounts are presented in the balance sheet separately as a liability and asset, respectively. Income from earnings on amounts funded is added to severance pay funds. According to Israeli GAAP, accrued severance pay is included in the balance sheet net of any related funded amounts, including the income from earnings on amounts funded. See Note 13 for the presentation in the Company's balance sheet in accordance with Israeli GAAP. b. Taxes on income: 1. Deferred tax liability Under ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), a deferred tax liability normally would be recorded relating to taxes that would be owed on the distribution of profits even if management does not intend currently to declare dividends. However, under Israeli tax law, a company could be liquidated and profits distributed with no tax liability to the company; rather, the shareholders would incur the tax liability. If the Company can represent that profits could be distributed tax free in liquidation, and the undistributed earnings are essentially permanent in duration, a deferred tax liability does not need to be recorded. If the approved enterprise benefit relates to a domestic (Israeli) subsidiary, the parent company would be liable for taxes upon distribution. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability should be recorded unless the subsidiary could be merged with the parent in a tax-free merger or if there is some other manner in which the earnings could be distributed tax-free. 2. Under Israeli GAAP, a deferred tax liability would not be recorded relating to taxes that would be owed on the distribution of profits in case management does not intend currently to declare dividends, which will trigger such tax liability. Under U.S. GAAP, a deferred tax liability would be recorded relating to taxes that would be owed on the distribution of profits although management does not intend to declare dividends. Therefore, the Company recorded under U.S. GAAP a deferred tax liability in the amounts of NIS 15,932 thousand, NIS 19,568 thousand and NIS 18,708 thousand (U.S. $ 5,390 thousand) as of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. - 49 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 21:- EFFECT OF MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI GAAP AND U.S. GAAP ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) c. Variable interest entities: Under U.S. GAAP, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"). ASC 810 provides a framework for identifying variable interest entities ("VIE") and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust, or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that is unable to make significant decisions about its activities, (3) has a group of equity owners that does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations or (4) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity's activities (for example, providing financing or buying assets) either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated by the party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) that has both of the following characteristics: a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is called the primary beneficiary. Upon consolidation, the primary beneficiary generally must initially record all of the VIE's assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value and subsequently account for the VIE as if it were consolidated based on a majority voting interest. ASC 810 also requires disclosures about VIEs in which the variable interest holder is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. 1. During 2001, the Company formed a jointly controlled entity, Actech Access Technologies Ltd. ("Actech") with Camden Trading Ltd. Inc., the other jointly controlling shareholder. Actech was financed by the Company with approximately U.S. $ 200 thousand in debt. Actech develops, manufactures and markets electronic access control systems. In 2019, Actech's revenues were approximately NIS 55 thousand with a gross profit of approximately NIS 22 thousand and a net loss of approximately NIS 10 thousand. - 50 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 21:- EFFECT OF MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI GAAP AND U.S. GAAP ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) In 2012, under Israeli GAAP, the Company records its proportional share (50%) in Actech's balance sheets using the proportionate consolidation method while recording 100% of Actech's losses. In 2012, under U.S. GAAP, the Company has determined that it should consolidate Actech according to ASC 810, as Actech is a VIE and the Company is its primary beneficiary. As for the effects of the material differences on the financial statements see e below. In 2013, the Company acquired additional 50% of the share capital of Actech, See notes 1e & 1f. 2. During 2002, the Company formed a jointly controlled entity, ScanVision Technologies Ltd. ("ScanVision") with other jointly controlling shareholder. ScanVision was financed by the Company with approximately U.S. $ 200 thousand in debt. ScanVision develops technology for security and CCTV motion-less applications. In 2019, ScanVision did not have any revenues and it incurred a loss of approximately NIS 106 thousand. In 2012, under Israeli GAAP, the Company records its proportional share (48%) in ScanVision's balance sheets using the proportionate consolidation method while recording 100% of ScanVision's losses. In 2012, under U.S. GAAP, the Company has determined that it should consolidate ScanVision according to ASC 810, as ScanVision is a VIE and the Company is its primary beneficiary. As for the effects of the material differences on the financial statements see e below. In 2013, the Company acquired additional 52% of the share capital of ScanVision, See notes 1e & 1f. 3. During 2011, Orev through its subsidiary Video Domain Technologies Ltd ("Video Domain") formed a jointly controlled entity, Mikrodust AB ("Mikrodust") with other jointly controlling shareholders. Mikrodust was financed by Video Domain with approximately EUR 600 thousand in debt. Mikrodust develops technology for home security. In 2013, Mikrodust's revenues were approximately NIS 3,216 thousand with a gross profit of approximately NIS 1,512 thousand and a net loss of approximately NIS 358 thousand. Under Israeli GAAP, the Company records its proportional share (33%) in Mikrodust's balance sheets using the proportionate consolidation method while recording 100% of Mikrodus'ts' losses. - 51 - CROW TECHNOLOGIES 1977 LTD.
