According to ASC 810-10, the Company consolidates a VIE when it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether the Company should consolidate a VIE is evaluated continuously as existing relationships change or future transactions occur.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company’s assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of the primary beneficiary is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

The ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting under existing guidance for operating leases. The ASU requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, “Leases”.

It also changes how companies assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.</span></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">AF.    RECLASSIFICATIONS</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:6pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:6pt;"><br/></span></div>Certain financial statement data for prior years has been reclassified to conform to current year financial statement presentation.

The most significant assumptions are employed in estimates used in determining values of intangible assets, warranty and contract loss accruals, legal contingencies, tax assets and tax liabilities, stock-based compensation costs, retirement and post-retirement benefits (including the actuarial assumptions), financial instruments with no observable market quotes, as well as in estimates used in applying the Company's revenue recognition policies.

Factors considered in making such a determination include the duration and severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value, the potential recovery period,if the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. However, if an entity does not expect to sell a debt security, it will still need to evaluate expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss exists. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in OCI.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES<div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:72px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, provides a framework for identifying variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. According to ASC 810-10, the Company consolidates a VIE when it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether the Company should consolidate a VIE is evaluated continuously as existing relationships change or future transactions occur.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company’s assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of the primary beneficiary is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Those include, among others, forecasted cash flows, their respective probabilities and the economic value of certain preference rights. In addition, such assessment also involves estimates of whether an entity can finance its current activities, until it reaches profitability, without additional subordinated financial support.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Also according to ASC 810, a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. As such, changes in the parent’s ownership interest with no change of control are treated as equity transactions, rather than acquisitions achieved in stages or dilution gains or losses. Losses of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries will continue to be allocated to the non-controlling interests even when the investment in the subsidiary was already reduced to zero.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>51%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-held subsidiary in the U.K. (the “UK Subsidiary”) is considered to be a VIE.

The selling price for each element would be allocated by using a hierarchy of: (1) Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”); (2) Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”) of the selling price for that element; or (3) Estimated Selling Price (“ESP”) for individual elements of an arrangement when VSOE or TPE of the selling price are unavailable.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:7pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:7pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company determines ESP for the purposes of allocating the consideration to individual elements of an arrangement by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, margin objectives, geographies in which the Company offers products and services and internal costs.

These grants are recognized as a deduction from research and development costs at the time the applicable entity is entitled to such grants on the basis of the research and development costs incurred. Since the payment of royalties is not probable when the grants are received, the Company records a liability in the amount of the estimated royalties for each individual contract, when the related revenues are recognized, as part of COR.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions or other inputs that are observable (model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable), or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of instrument, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the instruments are categorized as Level 3.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-left:72px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Note 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-left:66px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">AA.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:93px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:93px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under FASB ASC 825-10, the Company may elect to report certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the time an eligible financial assetor financial liability or firm commitment is acquired or incurred, as applicable, or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election, with respect to an item, may not be revoked once an election is made.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:93px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:93px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has elected to account for certain investments that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method using the fair value method (see Note 6). For these investments the Company will also measure any guarantee at fair value, with changes in fair value reported through earnings.

Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instruments, and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Accordingly, such instruments are categorized as Level 2.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company measures its marketable equity securities, debt securities and foreign currency derivative instruments at fair value. Government debt securities are classified as Level 1. The Company's corporate debt marketable securities trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency and accordingly are categorized as Level 2.</span></div><div

The ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting under existing guidance for operating leases. The ASU requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, “Leases”.

This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not presented in the balance sheet at fair value. The ASU will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do currently under the other-than-temporary impairment model. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.

The non-qualified, defined contribution plan is structured under Section 409(A). The plan provides the employees at vice president level and above the opportunity to defer up to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>100%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of their salary to the 409(A) plan.

The contribution can be made into the 401(k) plan, the 409(A) plan or both plans. The purpose is to provide comparable defined contribution plan benefits for the senior management across ESA locations. The 409(A) plan funds are contributed to several life insurance policies. Participant contributions to the plan were </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$1,962</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$1,194</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"><span>$1,221</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for the years ended </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">December 31, 2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2016</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2015</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, respectively, and the total ESA contribution to the plan was </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$334</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The total liability related to the 409(A) plan was </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$8,847</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">December 31, 2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:72px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The second plan implemented is a non-qualified, defined benefit plan for certain executives of ESA. The plan provides a calculated, guaranteed payment in addition to their regular pension through the company upon retirement. The plan is funded with several life insurance policies. They are not segregated into a trust or otherwise effectively restricted. These policies are corporate owned assets that are subject to the claims of general creditors and cannot be considered as formal plan assets. The defined benefit plan put in place meets the ERISA definition of an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The plan assets of life insurance policies have a cash surrender of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$3,030</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Related liability for the pension payments is </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$5,155</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2017</span>, all executives had partially vested balances in the plan.

Companies wishing to exit from the regime in the future will not be subject to clawback of tax benefits. The Knesset also approved a stability clause in order to encourage multinationals to invest in Israel.

Further, in line with the new Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Nexus Approach, the Israeli Finance Minister will promulgate regulations to ensure companies are benefiting from the regime to the extent qualifying R&D expenditures are incurred. The regulations were set to be finalized by March 31, 2017, with new amendments to the Law coming into effect after the regulations have been finalized. Accordingly, the new law was not considered enacted at December 31, 2016.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:120px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On May 16, 2017, the Knesset Finance Committee approved the regulations effective as of January 1, 2017. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:120px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Enhancement of Current Tax Incentives Regime:</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:120px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Tax incentives in Israel are also available to certain Israeli industrial companies and to R&D centers (operating on a cost plus basis) under two tracks: (i) a Preferred Enterprise and (ii) a Special Preferred Enterprise, aimed at large enterprises that meet certain investment requirements. Accordingly, a Preferred Enterprise is eligible for a reduced corporate income tax rate of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>16%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

The ability to fulfill the buy-back obligations may depend, among other things, on the availability of local suppliers with sufficient capability to meet our requirements and which are competitive in cost, quality and schedule.

(collectively “Elbit”) filed a claim for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Court”) against Hughes Network Systems, LLC (“Hughes”), Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations, LLC (“Black Elk”), Blue Tide Communications, Inc. (“Blue Tide”) and Country Home Investments, Inc. (“Country Home”) (Hughes, Black Elk, Blue Tide and Country Home are referred to collectively as the “defendants”). The claim alleges that the defendants infringed the Company's patents relating to “Reverse Link for a Satellite Communications Network” and “Infrastructure for Telephony Network”. In June 2017, Elbit voluntarily dismissed Blue Tide and Country Home as defendants, and Black Elk was dismissed earlier since it was in bankruptcy. A trial was conducted before a jury from July 31 - August 7, 2017. The jury concluded that Hughes infringed Elbit's patents, rejected Hughes' invalidity arguments and returned a damages verdict in Elbit's favor of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$21,075</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> .

Hughes filed motions for a judgment in its favor as a matter of law and for a new trial. The court is expected to rule on the various motions by the middle of 2018. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:96px;font-size:10pt;"><span

The terms typically included in these purchase orders and subcontracts are consistent with Uniform Commercial Code provisions in the United States for sales of goods, as well as with specific terms called for by its customers in various countries.
