principles of sound corporate governance.
Members shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, prudence and
diligence and shall strive to foster a Company culture of honesty,

fide manner for the benefit thereof, and inter alia:
4.1 Promptly disclose to the Company any personal interest such Member may
have in a proposed or other transaction of the Company including the
nature of such conflict of interest;
4.2 Refrain from any act or omission which may give rise to any conflict
of interests between the Member's private interest or interest of a
family relative and the interest of the Company, including, without
limitation, attempting to give or steer Company's business

forum. Requests from the media, analysts or stockholders about our
company must be forwarded to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief
Financial Officer for review by our professional staff having
responsibility for these matters.

Company's disclosure controls and procedures outlined in THE COMPANY'S

10. Whistleblower Policy - Reporting of illegal or unethical behavior:
10.1 If you wish to report or discuss any problem concerning our Company or
any violation or apparent or possible violation of any law, regulation
or this Code, including accounting, internal accounting controls, or
auditing matters relating to our Company ("VIOLATION"), please
promptly inform your supervising manager or report the matter to the
Designated Person or any Director or Officer ("Addressee"). Any such
Addressee, to whom a Violation is reported, other than the Company's
General Counsel, shall immediately report same to the Company's
General Counsel. If you wish to communicate any matter anonymously,
you are free to do so, by mailing in writing without indicating your
name or address to the Designated Person marking the envelope
"Personal & Confidential". These reports will be received by the

with applicable law.
10.3 Members shall be under no obligation to follow a directive, which, if

discharge or otherwise discriminate in any manner against, or threaten
or harass, a Member for any lawful act by the Member to provide
information or assist in an investigation by the Company or any other
governmental authority or agency, of any Violation.
-4-
ELBIT MEDICAL IMAGING LTD.'S CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
FOR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
10.6 It is a violation of the Company's standards for any Member to
communicate a report claiming a Violation, which report the Member
knows to be false.
11. Enforcement:
11.1 The Designated Person will make a report to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee, at each Board of Directors meeting or once per calendar
quarter if no Board meeting is held during the quarter, of all reports
of possible Violations received or any other matter disclosed to the
Designated Person in terms of Article 9 above, which constitutes
illegal or unethical behavior, the status of the initial
investigation, the Designated Person's recommendation for further
investigation and/or action, and the basis for the Designated Person's
recommendation. In determining illegal or unethical behavior, the
Designated Person may consult with any internal or external legal or
other advisors. Reports of possible Violations or illegal or unethical
behavior will be initially investigated by the Designated Person. The
Designated Person may, in his discretion, include other employees
and/or management (not including those named in the report of possible
Violation or illegal or unethical behavior) to assist in the
investigation. Upon completion of the initial investigation, the
Designated Person will make a determination whether further
investigation and/or action is required. If the Designated Person
believes further investigation and/or action is required, the
Designated Person will immediately forward the report and the results
of the initial investigation to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee may, in its discretion, assume responsibility for
evaluating any possible Violation or illegal or unethical behavior
(even those deemed to require no further investigation and/or action
by the Designated Person) and directing or conducting any
investigation or may delegate any portion of such responsibility to
the Board of Directors, another committee, the Designated Person or
another person or entity. If the Audit Committee chooses to assume
responsibility for evaluating any possible Violation or illegal or
unethical behavior or directing or conducting any investigation where
the investigation concerns a possible Violation or illegal or
unethical behavior by a member of the Board of Directors, the Audit
Committee shall not delegate such investigation to the Board of
Directors or any other committee but shall itself, not including that
member, assume such responsibility. The Audit Committee shall have the
authority to engage independent counsel and other advisers, as it
deems necessary, to assist in its investigation and decision process.
11.2 After conducting the investigation, the results will be evaluated and
the Company shall authorize such swift response, follow-up and
preventive actions, if any, as are deemed necessary and appropriate to
address the substance of the reported possible Violation or illegal or
unethical behavior. The Company reserves the right to take whatever
action it believes appropriate, up to and including discharge of any
employee determined to have engaged in improper conduct or termination
of any services provided by any Member to the Company.
12. Compliance with Laws
12.1 All Members must respect and obey both the letter and the spirit of
the laws of the countries in which we operate. Members have no
-5-

FOR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
mandate to contravene any law or regulation on behalf of the Company.
12.2 Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Thus, Members should become
familiar with the applicable laws and regulations that apply to the
nature of their work or function. Although not all Members are
expected to be experts in these laws, it is important to know enough
to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other
appropriate personnel.
13. Review:
The Company's Designated Person shall annually review this Code and suggest
to the Company's Board of Directors, any amendments, corrections or
additions thereto ("AMENDMENTS"). Any such Amendments shall be brought to
the approval of the Board of Directors at its meeting called for the
approval of the Company's relevant Annual Financial Statement.
14. Implementation:
Members are expected to read and understand this Code, uphold these
standards in a day-to-day activities and comply with all applicable
policies, procedures and laws.
15. Reservation and Conflicts:
15.1 This Code shall not replace or be construed as undermining in any
manner any provision, order, instruction, regulation, section or
article of any law, regulation or directive ("Regulatory Provision"),
to which any Member and/or the Company is subject.
15.2 In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the provisions of
this Code and any Regulatory Provision, the Member is strictly
instructed to follow the provisions of Article 8 of this Code.
16. General:
16.1 This Code may be modified, substituted or amended from time to time,
by the Company.
16.2 This Code may not be construed as unilaterally substituting or
altering any employment agreement with any employee of the Company.
16.3 This Code shall in no event be construed as allowing, conferring or in
any way granting any rights of any kind to any a third party
beneficiary, whether intended or incidental, and it is not intended
for the benefit of any person or entity except the Company.
