         You should carefully consider the risks described below regarding the business and the                                     
ownership of our shares. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or                                   
results of operations could be adversely affected, and the price of our common stock could                                          
decline significantly.                                                                                                              

         Recent developments have had a significant impact on our operations.                                                       

         Two major events in 2001 and early 2002 significantly changed our business operations:                                     
(i) the sale of substantially all of our European operations and (ii) the passage of the Aviation                                   
and Transportation Security Act (the "Security Act") by the United States Congress in response                                      
to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 pursuant to which the Federal government through                                     
the  Transportation Security Administration (the "TSA) took over aviation security services in                                      
the U.S. in November 2002.  As a result of these events, we have limited aviation security                                          
operations in Europe and in the U.S.  We previously derived most of our revenues from the                                           
provision of aviation security services and we have developed substantial experience and                                            
expertise in that field.  If we are unable to increase  revenues from aviation security services, our                               
financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.                                                           

         If we are unsuccessful in resolving our disagreements with the TSA there may be a                                          
significant material adverse effect on our financial condition.                                                                     

                  In February 2002, we entered into an aviation security services contract with the                                 
TSA to continue to provide aviation security services in all of its current airport locations until                                 
the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport                                  
basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 2002. In the process of definitizing the                                           
Contract, the TSA has expressed its view, that the definitization process should be on a Acost                                      
plus basis@.  Accordingly, with respect  to the TSA=s interpretation of the Contract as well as its                                 
calculation of payments made to Huntleigh for services provided under the Contract, the TSA                                         
has made to Huntleigh an overpayment of approximately US$ 32,000,000 in the aggregate. The                                          
TSA derives this amount from various items, consisting primarily actual costs incurred in the                                       
contract plus allowing a ten (10%) percent profit.                                                                                  

Since the contract clearly states that it is a firm fixed price contract the Company has taken the                                  
position that the definitization can not be calculated on a cost plus basis and that the only issue                                 
for validation is the number of hours worked.  In addition, the Company claims unpaid invoices                                      
of $11.5 million, corporate bonus of 5% equaling $10.5 million and claims in the amount of $21                                      
million due to notice not being given on time, as specified in the contract. On primary billings,                                   
the Company has been paid by the TSA $14.3 million more than initial invoices.  When this is                                        
taken into account, according to the Company=s calculations, the balance due it from the TSA is                                     
$28.7 million.  These claims have been challenged by the TSA.                                                                       

We have not recorded our claim against the TSA on our financial  statements.  In                                                    
the event that we are not successful in resolving our disagreement with the TSA,                                                    
then there may be a material  adverse effect on our financial  condition,  by an                                                    
expense of up t approximately $32 million.                                                                                          

                                                      7

Claim for Loss of Business  Huntleigh=s  main  business  was  providing  airport                                                    
security  services to airlines  and  airports as a result of the creation of the                                                    
TSA and the requirement  that the TSA take over airport  security  Huntleigh has                                                    
lost its principal  business.  Huntleigh is currently exploring the legal effect                                                    
of  this  ATaking@  and  its  rights  under  the  Fifth  Amendment  of the  U.S.                                                    
Constitution.  Huntleigh=s  present plans are to pursue its claim for a ATaking@                                                    
to  recover  the goin  concern  value of the lost  business  but there can be no                                                    
assurance as to the ultimate  outcome of such claim and whether or not Huntleigh                                                    
will be successful in prosecuting the same.                                                                                         

         We face significant potential liability claims.                                                                            

         As a result of the September 11th terrorists attacks numerous lawsuits have been                                           
commenced against us and our U.S. subsidiary.  The cases arise out of airport security services                                     
provided for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts which crashed                                          
into the World Trade Center.  In addition, to the present claims additional claims may be                                           
asserted. The outcome of these or additional cases is uncertain. If there is an adverse outcome                                     
with respect to any of these claims which is not covered by insurance, then there may be a                                          
significant adverse impact on us.                                                                                                   

         Our operations in the United States will be dependent on our ability to do business                                        
with the TSA.                                                                                                                       

         The Security Act provides that all aviation security services in the U.S. will be handled                                  
by the federal government through the TSA.  As a result of the passage of the Security Act the                                      
TSA took over aviation security in the U.S.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, the TSA                                          
accounted for 73% of our revenues. Our failure to be able to meet the TSA's requirements or to                                      
secure contracts from the TSA will have a material adverse affect on our business.                                                  

         We are dependent on our key personnel.                                                                                     

         Our success will largely depend on the services of our senior management and executive                                     
personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key personnel could have a material                                      
adverse impact on our operations. Our success will also be dependent upon our ability to hire                                       
and retain additional qualified executive personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to                                   
attract, assimilate and retain personnel with the attributes necessary to execute our strategy. We                                  
cannot assure you that one or more of our executives will not leave our employment and either                                       
work for a competitor or otherwise compete with us.                                                                                 

         We will be dependent on major customers.                                                                                   

                                                        8

         In light of recent developments, customers that were not considered our major customers                                    
in 2002 are anticipated to become our major customers.  If our relationship with our major                                          
customers is impaired, then there may be a material adverse  affect on our results of operations                                    
and financial condition.                                                                                                            

         Our success will be dependent upon our ability to change our business strategy.                                            

         Under our new business strategy we intend to develop technological solutions and                                           
systems for the aviation security industry,  develop or acquire security activities other than                                      
aviation security, invest in security related and non-security related businesses, such as                                          
entertainment projects and seek other revenue producing businesses and business opportunities.                                      

          We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop new systems  or develop systems                                      
that are commercially viable. Our success in developing and marketing our systems will also                                         
depend on our ability to adapt to rapid technology changes in the industry and to integrate such                                    
changes into our systems.                                                                                                           

         We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our attempts to change or implement                                     
our business strategy. We may not have the  expertise to be successful in developing our                                            
business in areas that are not related to the security industry.   Our failure to change our business                               
strategy or implement it successfully will have a material adverse affect on our financial                                          
condition and results of operations.                                                                                                

         We compete in a highly competitive industry and our competitors, who may have                                              
many more resources than us, may be more successful in developing new technology and                                                
achieving market acceptance of their products.                                                                                      

         Competition in the aviation security industry as well as in the non-security related                                       
aviation services industry is intense. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical                                    
and marketing resources. We expect that our competitors will develop and market alternative                                         
systems and technologies that may have greater functionality or be more cost effective than the                                     
services we provide or the systems that we may develop.  If our competitors develop such                                            
systems we may not be able to successfully market our systems. Even if we are able to develop                                       
systems with greater functionality which are more cost effective than those developed by our                                        
competitors, we may not be able to achieve market acceptance of our systems because our                                             
competitors have greater financial and marketing resources.                                                                         

         The aviation security industry is subject to extensive government regulation, the                                          
impact of which is difficult to predict.                                                                                            

         The Security Act has had a significant negative impact on our aviation security business.                                  
In addition, our ability to successfully market new systems will be dependent upon government                                       
regulations over which we have no control. Any existing or new regulation may cause us to incur                                     

                                                      9

increased expenses or impose substantial liability upon us. The likelihood of such new                                              
legislation is difficult to predict.                                                                                                

         The markets for our products and services may be adversely affected by legislation                                         
designed to protect privacy rights.                                                                                                 

         From time to time, personal identity data bases and technologies utilizing such data bases                                 
have been the focus of organizations and individuals seeking to curtail or eliminate the use of                                     
personal identity information technologies on the grounds that personal information and these                                       
technologies may be used to diminish personal privacy rights.  In the event that such initiatives                                   
result in restrictive legislation, the market for our products may be adversely affected.                                           

         Our operations are dependent upon obtaining required licenses.                                                             

         A license to operate is required from the airport authority in the airports in which we                                    
currently operate. Our licenses are usually issued for a period of 12 months and are renewable.                                     
The loss of, or failure to obtain, a license to operate in one or more of such airports could result                                
in the loss of or the inability to compete for contracts in the airports in which we have licenses.                                 

         Our contracts with airports or airlines may be canceled.                                                                   

         Our services are typically provided pursuant to contracts, which are cancelable on short                                   
notice at any time, with or without cause.  We cannot assure you that an existing client will                                       
decide not to terminate us or fail to renew a contract. Any such termination or failure to renew a                                  
contract with us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial                                     
condition.                                                                                                                          

         Our financial condition is subject to currency risk.                                                                       

         Part of our income is derived in foreign countries. We generally retain our income in                                      
local currency at the location the funds are received. Since our financial statements are presented                                 
in United States dollars, any significant fluctuation in the currency exchange rate between such                                    
currency and the United States dollar would affect our results of operations and our financial                                      
condition.                                                                                                                          

         The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which may make it more                                               
difficult for you to resell  your shares when you want at prices you find attractive.                                               

         The market price of our common stock may from time to time be significantly affected                                       
by a large number of factors, including, among others, variations in our operating results, the                                     
depth and liquidity of the trading market for our shares, and differences between actual results of                                 
operations and the results anticipated by investors and securities analysts. Many of the factors                                    
which affect the market price of our common stock are outside of our control and may not even                                       
be directly related to us.

         Management beneficially owns approximately 65% of our shares; their interests                                              
could conflict with yours; significant sales of shares held by them could have a negative                                           
effect on our stock price.                                                                                                          

         Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon collectively beneficially own 65% of our issued and                                         
outstanding common stock.  Mr. Harel is the Chairman of our Supervisory Board and Mr.                                               
Atzmon is a member of the Supervisory Board. As a result of  their ownership and position, Mr.                                      
Harel  and Mr. Atzmon are able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder                                         
approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.                                   
Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in                                      
control.  In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by Mr. Harel or Mr. Atzmon or                                    
the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.                                           

         We cannot assure you that we will continue to pay dividends.                                                               

         Although we have paid cash dividends in the past, we cannot assure you that any future                                     
dividends will be declared or paid.                                                                                                 

         We are subject to the laws of the Netherlands.                                                                             

         As a Netherlands "Naamloze Vennootschap" (N.V.) public limited company, we are                                             
subject to certain requirements not generally applicable to corporations organized under the laws                                   
of jurisdictions within the United States. Among other things, the authority to issue shares is                                     
vested in the general meeting of shareholders, except to the extent such authority to issue shares                                  
has been delegated by the shareholders or by the Articles of Association to another corporate                                       
body for a period not exceeding five years. The issuance of the common shares is generally                                          
subject to shareholder preemptive rights, except to the extent that such preemptive rights have                                     
been excluded or limited by the general meeting of shareholders (subject to a qualified majority                                    
of two-thirds of the votes if less than 50% of the outstanding share capital is present or                                          
represented) or by the corporate body designated to do so by the general meeting of shareholders                                    
or the Articles of Association. Such a designation may only take place if such corporate body has                                   
also been designated to issue shares.                                                                                               

          In this regard, the general meeting of shareholders has authorized our Supervisory Board                                  
to issue any authorized and unissued shares at any time up to five years from June 26, 2001 the                                     
date of such authorization and has authorized the Supervisory Board to exclude or limit                                             
shareholder preemptive rights with respect to any issuance of common shares prior to such date.                                     
Such authorizations may be renewed by the general meeting of shareholders from time to time,                                        
for up to five years at a time. This authorization would also permit the issuance of shares in an                                   
acquisition, provided that shareholder approval is required in connection with a statutory merger                                   
(except that, in certain limited circumstances, the board of directors of a surviving company may                                   
resolve to legally merge the company).  Shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect                                     
to shares which are issued against payment other than in cash.                                                                      

                                                      11

          Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association and by the laws                                         
governing corporations incorporated in The Netherlands. Our public shareholders may have                                            
more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by the Supervisory Board or the                                
Management Board, or their members, or controlling shareholders, than they would as                                                 
shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. Under our Articles of Association,                                     
adoption of our annual accounts  by the shareholders discharges the Supervisory Board, the                                          
Management Board and their members  from liability in respect of the exercise of their duties for                                   
the particular financial year, unless an explicit reservation is made by the shareholders and                                       
without prejudice to the provisions of Netherlands law, including provisions relating to liability                                  
of members of supervisory boards and management boards upon the bankruptcy of a company                                             
pursuant to the relevant provisions of The Netherlands Civil Code. However, the discharge of the                                    
Supervisory Board and the Management Board and their members  by the shareholders is not                                            
absolute and will not be effective as to matters misrepresented or not disclosed to the                                             
shareholders. An individual member of the Supervisory Board or the Management Board who                                             
can prove that he is not at fault for such an omission or misrepresentation would not be liable.                                    

         A U.S. judgment may not be enforceable in The Netherlands.                                                                 

         A significant number of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition,                                     
members of the Management and Supervisory Boards[ and certain experts named herein are                                              
residents of countries other than the United States ]. As a result, it may not be possible for                                      
investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to enforce                                     
against such persons judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities                                     
under the United States federal securities laws.                                                                                    

          There is no treaty between the United States and The Netherlands for the mutual                                           
recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards) in civil and                                               
commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any                                            
federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely                              
upon the federal securities laws, would not be directly enforceable in The Netherlands. In order                                    
to enforce any United States judgment obtained against us, proceedings must be initiated before                                     
a court of competent jurisdiction in The Netherlands. A court in The Netherlands will, under                                        
current practice, normally issue a judgment incorporating the judgment rendered by the United                                       
States court if it finds that (i) the United States court had jurisdiction over the original                                        
proceeding, (ii) the judgment was obtained in compliance with principles of due process, (iii) the                                  
judgment is final and conclusive and (iv) the judgment does not contravene the public policy or                                     
public order of The Netherlands. We cannot assure you that that United States investors will be                                     
able to enforce any judgments in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under the                                        
federal securities laws against us or members of the Management or Supervisory Board [or                                            
certain experts named herein] who are residents of The Netherlands or countries other than the                                      
United States.  In addition, a court in The Netherlands might not impose civil liability on us or                                   
on the members of the Management or Supervisory Boards in an original action predicated                                             
solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States brought in a court of competent                                        
jurisdiction in The Netherlands.

                  We may be a passive foreign investment company under U.S. Federal income                                          
tax law.                                                                                                                            

          Under certain circumstances, we may be a passive foreign investment company                                               
("PFIC") for the calendar year 2002, depending on events for calendar 2003 and 2004.  The                                           
determination as to whether or not we are depends on part on two mechanical tests relating to                                       
passive income and passive assets and are dependent upon IRS proposed regulations which are                                         
not yet in effect.  If we are a PFIC U.S. shareholders on the sale or receipt of distributions on                                   
their stock would have adverse tax consequences as the distributions would be treated as                                            
ordinary income and maybe subject to an interest charge.  See Taxation-United States Income

          History and Development of the Company.                                                                                   

                  Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to the "Company"                                    
include ICTS International N.V. ("ICTS" or the "Company"), its consolidated subsidiaries,                                           
Demco Consultants, Ltd. ("Demco"), an Israeli affiliate, Procheck International B.V. ("PI", an                                      
affiliate in The Netherlands) and Ramasso Holdings B.V. ("Ramasso", an affiliate in The                                             
Netherlands) and Huntleigh USA Corp. ("Huntleigh").                                                                                 

                  ICTS is a public limited liability company organized under the laws of The                                        
Netherlands in 1992.  ICTS's offices are located at Biesboch 225, 1181 JC Amstelveen, The                                           
Netherlands and its telephone number is +31-20-347-1077.                                                                            

                  The Company's predecessor, International Consultants on Targeted Security                                         
Holland B.V. ("ICTS Holland"), was founded in The Netherlands in 1987.  Until 1994,                                                 
subsidiaries and affiliates of ICTS Holland conducted similar business in which the Company is                                      
currently engaged.  In connection with the acquisition of the Company by Leedan as of January                                       
1, 1994, ICTS Holland's interest in its subsidiaries (other than three minor subsidiaries) was                                      
transferred to ICTS International B.V. ("ICTS International") which became an indirect wholly-                                      
owned subsidiary of Leedan.  Thereafter, ICTS International purchased from a third party all of                                     
the outstanding shares of ICTS, incorporated in The Netherlands in 1992 without any operations                                      
prior to its acquisition by ICTS International.  As of January 1, 1996, the Company acquired all                                    
of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of ICTS International.                                                             

                  In August 1997, the Company acquired 37% of the outstanding shares of Demco                                       
for approximately $1.2 million.  As of December 31, 2002 the Company owned 67% of Demco.                                            
In addition, there are put and call agreements in effect which enable the Company to acquire the                                    
balance of the shares.  Demco, a privately-held firm based in Israel, is engaged in design,                                         
planning and implementation of emergency systems and contingency procedures for government                                          
agencies and large organizations.

          As a result of a series of transactions in 1997 and 1998, the Company acquired a 51%                                      
interest in Advanced Maintenance Systems Ltd. ("AMS").    From 1997 through 2001, the                                               
Company through its affiliate, PI, acquired all the outstanding shares of APS Data Screening                                        
Systems B.V. ("APS"). In 2001, the Company sold its interest in AMS in exchange for shares of                                       
APS and Trainsoft Ltd.                                                                                                              

          As of January 1, 1999 the Company acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding capital                                      
stock of Huntleigh and in January 2001 the Company exercised its option to acquire the                                              
remaining 20% at an agreed upon price formula making Huntleigh a wholly owned subsidiary.                                           
Huntleigh is a provider of aviation services in the United States.                                                                  

          In  2001 and 2002  ICTS sold substantially all of its European operations in two stages,                                  
for an aggregate  purchase price of $103 million.   As a result of the sale, ICTS  has fully                                        
divested itself from its European operations, except for its operations in The Netherlands and                                      
Russia.                                                                                                                             

          In the wake of the events which occurred on September 11, 2001, the federal                                               
government of the United States, in November, 2001, enacted the Aviation and Transportation                                         
Security Act (the "Security Act") Public Law 107-71.   Under the Security Act, entities may                                         
provide aviation security services in the United States only if they are owned and controlled at                                    
least 75% by U.S. citizens.  As a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands ICTS                                          
may be unable to comply with the ownership requirements under the Security Act. The Security                                        
Act is administered through the Transportation Security Administration (the "TSA").                                                 

          In the fourth quarter of 2002, pursuant to the Security Act the Federal government                                        
through the  TSA took over substantially all of the aviation security operations in U.S. airports.                                  
As a result, ICTS through its wholly-owned subsidiary  Huntleigh, provides limited aviation                                         
security services in the United States.

potential threat before it materializes, through a methodology of risk evaluation and                                               
classification of passengers. The risk evaluation and classification techniques include comparing                                   
characteristics of a specific passenger to a preset standard of characteristics of a potential                                      
aggressor through interviewing, document verification and behavior analysis. The vast majority                                      
of passengers fall into the low risk category.  Therefore more scrutiny can be focused on higher                                    
risk passengers. Since RAPS entails the identification of potential threats through recognizable                                    
patterns, ICTS believes that it provides a better response to such threats than other alternatives.                                 
Other methods include, simple guard positioning or a complete body and baggage search of each                                       
passenger. In addition, by focusing on the primary risks, ICTS considers RAPS to be more cost-                                      
effective and passenger-friendly than other alternatives available or in development.                                               

                  The concept of risk analysis through passenger screening utilizing a set of criteria                              
has been in use in various forms by certain U.S. carriers since 1986. In 1995, the FAA mandated                                     
that all U.S. carriers adopt a uniform methodology of risk analysis through advanced passenger                                      
screening at all of the "high-risk" airports in Europe. Previously, security authorities in the                                     
Netherlands had adopted such methodology as the standard for enhanced flight-related security                                       
for airlines.  In April 1996, the United States enacted an anti-terrorism law which mandates that                                   
foreign airlines flying to and from airports in the United States adhere to security measures                                       
identical to those required of U.S. airlines serving the same airports. In July 1996, as an initial                                 
response to the explosion of TWA Flight 800, the FAA issued a "security directive," applicable                                      
to all International flights originating in the United States, which requires the implementation of                                 

                                                      17

certain passenger and cargo classification and verification procedures similar to some of the                                       
RAPS procedures.                                                                                                                    

                  The accumulated know-how and expertise of ICTS in the implementation of                                           
RAPS enabled ICTS to develop its APS technology and system. The APS system is an                                                    
automated computerized system that enables the pre-departure analysis of passenger information                                      
and is designed to screen airline passengers in a faster and more efficient manner. The APS                                         
system is currently being operated by ICTS under contract for services provided by ICTS                                             
Europe, an unaffiliated third party, to major United States airlines on flights from Europe to the                                  
United States.                                                                                                                      

                  Computer Based Training.  ICTS provides computer-based software utilized to                                       
train X-ray operators to better perform security-related luggage screening.

                  IP@SS.    ICTS has recently launched a trial phase of its IP@SS project.  IP@SS                                   
consists of a computerized platform integrating various technologies, including document                                            
readers, biometrics identification systems and a smart-card. The system is modular and may be                                       
used on a stand alone basis or integrated into an existing check-in system. The system has been                                     
designed to protect passenger privacy. The system is designed to speed up and simplify the                                          
processes of identification and security checks of passengers at airports.  The system enhances                                     
customer service provided by airlines and airports to outbound passengers.                                                          

                  The project is being developed by ICTS and is performed in cooperation with                                       
various partners. The pilot program is being tested at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The                                           
Netherlands, Buenos Aires Airport, Argentina and at Newark Liberty International Airport, New                                       
Jersey in the United States and is planned to be expanded in the near term to other European                                        
airports as well as other North American airports.

                  ICTS has designed and developed the TravelDoc system for airlines to quickly                                      
scan  travel documents, to verify their accuracy and authenticity and to ensure that they fulfill the                               
requirements of the country of destination. The TravelDoc system utilizes a full page scanner, a                                    
small computer and an operator screen or can be installed on an existing workstation to meet                                        
immigration requirements and reduce fines imposed on the carrier.

                  ICTS has designed and developed a system to assist airlines to meet the                                           
requirements of the U.S. Customs Advance Passenger Information System Program.  The                                                 
Security Act requires that all international carriers transmit data to U.S. Customs about                                           
passengers and crew members on inbound flights prior to their arrival in the U.S. at high levels                                    
of accuracy. ICTS has developed advanced algorithms for scanning passports and visas that

                  ICTS provides consulting services to airlines and airports. ICTS recommends the                                   
adoption of specified security procedures, develops recruitment and training programs for clients                                   
to hire necessary security personnel and works with airport authorities to ensure that they                                         
comply with applicable local requirements. ICTS trains airline employees to screen passengers                                       
and to perform other security measures through extensive courses and written training manuals.                                      
ICTS provides these services in The Netherlands and Russia, but does not expect to derive                                           
significant revenues from these services.

advertising and establishing  long term relationships with tour and bus operators.                                                  

                  Leasing Operation                                                                                                 

                  In June 2002 ICTS purchased equipment for an aggregate purchase price of $23.5                                    
million. The purchase price was payable $14.5 million in cash and the balance subject to an $8.5                                    
million self amortizing non-recourse promissory note payable over five years. Pursuant to an                                        
operating lease, the equipment was leased to a private Dutch company. The lease provides for                                        
annual lease payments in the amount of $2.6 million and an option to purchase the equipment                                         
after five or seven years based upon the then fair market value. In the event that the lessee does                                  
not exercise the option to purchase the equipment upon the expiration of the lease term, then

                  Competition                                                                                                       

                  Competition in the aviation security industry as well as in the non-security related                              
aviation services industry is intense. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical                                    
and marketing resources. We expect that our competitors will develop and market alternative                                         
systems and technologies that may have greater functionality or be more cost effective than the                                     
services we provide or the systems that we may develop.  If our competitors develop such                                            
systems we may not be able to successfully market our systems. Even if we are able to develop                                       
systems with greater functionality which are more cost effective than those developed by our                                        
competitors, we may not be able to achieve market acceptance of our systems because our                                             
competitors have greater financial and marketing resources.                                                                         

                  Restrictions on Competition                                                                                       

                  In connection with the sale of the European operations ICTS is restricted from                                    
conducting business in Europe, (except for The Netherlands and Russia) any of the activities in                                     
which ICTS Europe was engaged prior to the sale. This restriction is effective through February                                     
2005.                                                                                                                               

                  Pursuant to an agreement dated as of July 1, 1995 with ICTS Global Security                                       
(1995) Ltd. ICTS may not provide non-aviation security services in Latin America, Turkey or                                         
Russia. ICTS Global Security is partially owned by Lior Zouker and Ezra Harel, the Chief                                            
Executive Officer and the Chairman of Supervisory Board of ICTS and a principal shareholder,                                        
respectively.                                                                                                                       

                  Aviation Security Regulatory Matters                                                                              

                  ICTS aviation security activities are subject  to various regulations imposed by                                  
authorities and various local and federal agencies having jurisdiction in the serviced area. ICTS                                   
on behalf of its clients was responsible for adherence to such regulations relating to certain                                      
security aspects of their activities.  ICTS is also responsible to prevent passengers without proper                                
travel documentation from boarding a flight, thereby avoiding fines otherwise imposed on its                                        
clients by immigration authorities.                                                                                                 

                  ICTS is subject to random periodic tests by government authorities with regard to                                 
the professional level of its services and training.  Any failure to pass such a test may result in                                 
the loss of a contract or a license to perform services or a fine or both.                                                          

                  In the airports in which ICTS operates in The Netherlands and Russia, a license to                                
operate is required from the respective airport authority. ICTS currently holds the licenses                                        
required to operate in such locations.

                  Prior to the enactment of the Security Act, the FAA regulated the activities of                                   
Huntleigh with respect to security services offered at U.S. airports.  Presently such activities are                                
regulated by the FAA and the TSA.                                                                                                   

                  In order for ICTS to engage in aviation activities in the U.S. it may be necessary                                
for ICTS to demonstrate that it meets the TSA requirement of being at least 75% owned and                                           
controlled by U.S. citizens.

           Operating Results                                                                                                        

                  General                                                                                                           

                  This section contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S.                                   
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning ICTS's business, operations and                                         
financial condition. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this                                      
annual report on Form 20-F regarding ICTS's strategy, future operations, financial position,                                        
costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When                                           
used in this annual report on Form 20-F the words "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan",                                         
"believe", "seek", "estimate", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking                                     
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.                                            
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could                                      
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a                                         
number of important reasons, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in                                        
this annual report on Form 20-F.                                                                                                    

                  ICTS cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or                                      
achievements. The forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 20-F                                           
represent management's expectations as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F and                                           
should not be relied upon as representing ICTS's expectations as of any other date. Subsequent                                      
events and developments will cause management's expectations to change. However, while                                              
ICTS may elect to update these forward-looking statements, ICTS specifically disclaims any                                          
obligation to do so, even if its expectations change.                                                                               

                  ICTS specializes primarily in the provision of aviation security services. In                                     
addition, ICTS provides non-security related aviation services and develops technological                                           
systems and solutions for the security market. ICTS also engages in certain other activities,                                       
including constructing and developing entertainment related projects.                                                               

                  In  2001 and 2002  ICTS sold substantially all of its European operations in two                                  
stages, for an aggregate  purchase price of $103 million.   As a result of the sale, ICTS  has fully                                
divested itself from its European operations, except for its operations in The Netherlands and                                      
Russia.                                                                                                                             

                   In the fourth quarter of 2002, pursuant to the Security Act the Federal                                          
government through the  TSA took over substantially all of the aviation security operations in                                      
U.S. airports. As a result, ICTS through its wholly-owned subsidiary Huntleigh USA Corp.                                            
("Huntleigh"), provides limited aviation security services in the United States.

          Critical Accounting Policies                                                                                              

          The preparation of ICTS's consolidated financial statements in conformity with                                            
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make                                           
estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the                                              
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results may differ                                     
from these estimates. To facilitate the understanding of ICTS's business activities, described                                      
below are certain ICTS accounting policies that are relatively more important to the portrayal of                                   
its financial condition and results of operations and that require management s subjective                                          
judgments. ICTS bases its judgments on its experience and various other assumptions that it                                         
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Please refer to Note 2 to ICTS's consolidated                                    
financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December                                        
31, 2002 for a summary of all of ICTS's significant accounting policies.                                                            

         The Company considers its most significant accounting policies to be those discussed                                       
below.                                                                                                                              

Contract with the TSA                                                                                                               

         On November 19, 2001, as a result of the events of September 11, 2001, the Aviation and                                    
Transportation Security Act was signed into law. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act                                       
made airport security including security screening operations for passenger air transportation and                                  
intrastate air transportation a direct responsibility of the Federal government as administered by                                  
the TSA. As a result, in accordance with an agreement signed with the TSA, the Company has                                          
provided screening services in its airport locations during the transition period through                                           
November 2002, when all such activities were transferred to the TSA (see also goodwill section                                      
hereafter).                                                                                                                         

         In the process of definitizing the Contract the TSA has expressed its view in letters sent                                 
to Huntleigh, that the definitization process should be on a "cost plus basis".  Accordingly, with                                  
respect  to the TSA's interpretation of the Contract as well as its calculation of payments made to                                 
Huntleigh for services provided under the Contract, the TSA claims that it has made to                                              
Huntleigh an overpayment of approximately US$ 32,000,000 in the aggregate. The TSA derives                                          
this amount from certain costs and allocations that are allegedly not contract incurred costs.                                      

         ICTS Management does not accept the position of the TSA as to the interpretation of the                                    
Contract and claims that the Contract provides for a fixed fee payable to ICTS for services                                         
provided. ICTS is also claiming additional amounts aggregating $31 million for corporate bonus                                      
and notice not being given on time. Management and its legal counsel are unable estimate, at this                                   
stage,  the outcome of these claims and counterclaims, and therefore has made  no provision in                                      
respect of this matter.                                                                                                             

          Goodwill                                                                                                                  

         As from January 1, 2002, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ( FAS)                                     

                                                       24

No.142 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States (the  FASB ),                                               
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" , goodwill is no longer amortized but rather is tested for                                   
impairment annually. During 2002, the Company identified its various reporting units, which                                         
consist of its operating segments. The Company has utilized expected future discounted cash                                         
flows to determine the fair value of the reporting units and whether any impairment of goodwill                                     
existed as of the date of adoption of FAS 142. As a result of the application of the transitional                                   
impairment test, the Company does not have to record a cumulative effect of accounting change                                       
for the estimated impairment of goodwill. The Company has designated December 31 of each                                            
year as the date on which it will perform its annual goodwill impairment test. On December 31,                                      
2002, an impairment test was conducted on the unamortized goodwill pursuant to which it was                                         
determined that, as of the date of the impairment test, no impairment existed. Changes in the fair                                  
value of the reporting units following material changes in the assumptions as to the future cash                                    
flows and/or discount rates could result in an unexpected impairment charge to goodwill.                                            

         As a result of the enactment of the Security Act (as described above), ICTS performed                                      
quarterly interim impairment tests, taking into account the expected future cash flows from the                                     
TSA contract through November 2002, and subsequently wrote off, as of September 30, 2002                                            
the balance of the goodwill attributable to the U.S. aviation security operations in the amount of                                  
$8.5 million.                                                                                                                       

         Functional and reporting currency                                                                                          

         As of January 1, 2002, subsequent to the sale of ICTS's interest in ICTS Europe, the                                       
functional currency of ICTS and its U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar because substanitally all of                                 
the revenues and operating costs are in dollars.  Prior to January 1, 2002 the functional currency                                  
was primarily the euro .  The financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is                                     
not the dollar are translated into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement                                 
of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board                                        
of the USA ("FASB"). Assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies to dollars at                                  
year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates                                          
during the year.                                                                                                                    

         Revenue recognition                                                                                                        

         Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers, which are performed                                         
based on terms contracted in a contractual arrangement provided the fee is fixed and                                                
determinable, the services have been rendered and collection of the related receivable is                                           
probable. Revenue from leased equipment is recognized ratably over the year.                                                        

                                                      25

           Impairment in value of long-lived assets                                                                                 

          ICTS has adopted FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived                                        
Assets", effective January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets, held and used by an                                    
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the                                     
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Under FAS 144, if the sum of the expected                                     
future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than                                 
the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets would                                    
be written down to their estimated fair values.                                                                                     

                  The adoption of FAS 144 did not have any material impact on the consolidated                                      
financial position of ICTS.                                                                                                         

          Revenue recognition                                                                                                       

                  Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers which are performed                                 
based on terms contracted in a contractual arrangement provided the fee is fixed and determinable,                                  
the services have been rendered and collection of the related receivable is probable. Revenue from                                  
leased equipment is recognized ratably over the year.                                                                               

                                                       26

          Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001                                                     

          Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $279.9 million (2001:                                        
$212.1 million), and consisted of $274.0 million (2001: $96.7 million) from U.S. operations, no                                     
revenues (2001: $113.1 million) from ICTS Europe and $5.9 million (2001: $2.3 million) from                                         
other operations.  The lack of  revenue from ICTS Europe in 2002 is the result of the sale of                                       
ICTS's 55% interest in ICTS Europe in January 2002.                                                                                 

          The increase in revenues from U.S. operations is primarily the result of increased sales                                  
of aviation security services pursuant to contracts with the TSA following the September 11th                                       
events.  Revenues derived from such services were $205.7 million (73% of ICTS's total                                               
revenues). For the first month and one-half for 2002 the Company provided aviation security                                         
services to its airline clients generating revenues of approximately $30 million. As a  result of                                   
the Security Act since November 2002, ICTS  does not provide aviation security services within                                      
the United States.                                                                                                                  

          Revenues derived in the U.S., other than from aviation security services, were $39.0                                      
million (2001: $27.7 million). Such increase is primarily attributable to an increase in sales to                                   
existing airline customers through expanding ICTS's location base and the offering of new                                           
services.                                                                                                                           

          Gross Profit. Gross profit is defined as revenues less costs directly related to such                                     
revenues as well as certain indirect expenses such as airport offices, airport fees, local training                                 
and other direct labor related expenses such as uniforms and transportation.                                                        
          Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $65.9 million, 23.5%, as a                                          
percentage of revenue (2001: $22.2 million, 10.5% as a percentage of revenue). Management

believes that the increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to                                 
the increase in the provision of aviation security services.                                                                        

          Impairment of Intangible Assets.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, ICTS incurred                                     
expenses of $9.2 million attributable to impairment of intangible assets.  The expense is                                           
primarily attributable to the impairment of goodwill in the U.S. subsidiaries as a result of the                                    
TSA taking over aviation security activities in the U.S. in November 2002.                                                          

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative                                        
expenses were $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002,  9.2% as a percentage of                                          
revenues, as compared to $18.1 million, 8.8% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended                                         
December 31, 2001.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily                                       
attributable to increases in provisions for bad debts in the amount of $5 million, legal and                                        
insurance costs in the amount of $2.6 million, payroll expenses in the amount of $700,000 and                                       
offset by the reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to ICTS                                        
Europe in the amount of $4.8 million.                                                                                               

          Operating Profit. Operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $31.1                                         
million as compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.                                                           

          Financial (Expenses) Income, Net. Financial (expenses) income, net includes interest                                      
income (net of interest expense), and adjustments due to the impact of exchange rate                                                
fluctuations. The interest income increased due to the stronger cash position of ICTS, despite the                                  
decrease in interest rates on time deposits over the course of 2002. Interest expenses increased                                    
compared to 2001, as a result of additional credit facilities that were at ICTS's disposal during                                   
2002.                                                                                                                               

          Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was                                        
$41.2 million as compared to $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Other income                                       
for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes the profit on  the sale of 55% interest in ICTS                                       
Europe which resulted in gross proceeds, in the amount of $41.2 million.                                                            

          Income Taxes.  ICTS's effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2002                                      
was 21.9% as compared to 14.4% in the year ended December 31, 2001.  The increase in the                                            
effective tax rate is primarily attributable to an increase in non-deductible expenses for the year                                 
ended December 31, 2002 as well as a decrease in non-taxable capital gains in The Netherlands                                       
as a percentage of total income.                                                                                                    

          Share in Profits and (Losses) of Associated Companies.  The share in profits (losses) of                                  
associated companies which includes amortization of intangible assets for the year ended                                            
December 31, 2002 was $1.8 million.                                                                                                 

          Net income. As a result of the foregoing,  ICTS's net income increased by approximately                                   
$30.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2002, to $56.8 million, as compared to                                                 
approximately $26.2 million for the year ended December 31,  2001.

          Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000                                                     

          Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were approximately $212.1                                         
million (2000: $147.4 million), and consisted of $113.1 million (2000: $77.7 million) from ICTS                                     
Europe, $96.7 million (2000: $66.6 million) from U.S. operations, and $2.3 million (2000: $3.1                                      
million) from other operations. The increase in revenues for both ICTS Europe and U.S.                                              
operations was primarily attributable to internal growth of ICTS's operations due to newly added                                    
locations together with price increases in the U.S. effective in October 2001. The addition of new                                  
locations and the price increases outweighed the negative impact of the cancellation of flights as                                  
a result of the September 11 events.                                                                                                

          For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenues derived from aviation security services                                    
in the U.S. were $68.9 million (71% of U.S. revenues).                                                                              

          Revenues derived from services, other than aviation security services in the United                                       
States, for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $30.1 million as compared to $27.1 million                                        
for the year ended December 31, 2000.                                                                                               

          Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $22.2 million                                        
10.5% as a percentage of revenues (2000: $15.8 million, 10.7% as a percentage of revenues)                                          
consisted primarily of a profit of $13.2 million (2000: $10.4 million) from ICTS Europe and a                                       
profit of $9.2 million (2000: $5.3 million) from U.S. operations. This increase in gross profit is                                  
due primarily to the increase in revenue.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue                                  
is due primarily to start-up costs of approximately $1.4 million resulting from new airport                                         
locations in Europe, which was partially offset  by an increase in gross profit as a percentage of                                  
revenues from U.S. operations.                                                                                                      

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative                                         
expenses was $18.6 million, 8.8% as a percentage of revenues, for the year ended December 31,                                       
2001, as compared to $11.6 million, 7.9% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended                                             
Decemver 31, 2000.  This increase is primarily due to $4.9 million related to the sale of ICTS                                      
Europe, and expenses related to the expansion of the headquarters of ICTS Europe.                                                   

          Operating Profit. Operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $3.3                                          
million and included $8.4 million (2000: $6.6 million) of operating profits of ICTS Europe.                                         

          Financial (Expenses) Income, Net. Financial (expenses) income, net includes interest                                      
income (net of interest expense), and adjustments due to the impact of exchange rate                                                
fluctuations. Interest Income increased due to the stronger cash position of ICTS, as a result of                                   
the receipt of the proceeds for the sale of the 45% interest in ICTS Europe in early 2001, despite                                  
the decrease in interest rates on time deposits over the course of 2001. Interest expenses                                          
decreased, as a result of partial repayment of outstanding lines of credit.

          Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was                                        
$29.5 million. Other income was primarily attributable to the profit on the sale of a 45% interest                                  
in ICTS Europe, in the amount of $34.3 million, which was partially offset by a loss of                                             
approximately $4.5 million related to a write-off of ICTS's investments in several technology                                       
start-up companies due to their financial condition and ICTS's assessment of their future                                           
prospects.                                                                                                                          

          Income Taxes. ICTS's effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001                                       
was 14.4% as compared to 47.4% in the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in the                                             
effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-taxable capital gains in The Netherlands                                       
derived by ICTS from the sale of a 45% interest in ICTS Europe.                                                                     

          Minority Interest. This item reflects primarily the 45% interest of ICTS Europe owned                                     
by an unaffiliated party effective January 2001.                                                                                    

          Share in losses of associated companies. Share in losses of associated companies was                                      
$395,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.                                                                                      

          Net income.  As a result of the foregoing ICTS's net income increased by $25.2 million                                    
for the year ended December 31, 2001, to $26.2 million, as compared to $870,000 for the year                                        
ended December 31, 2000.                                                                                                            

          Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999.                                                    

          Revenues.  Revenues in the year ended December 31, 2000 increased by 9% as                                                
compared to the year ended December 31, 1999.  This increase ($12.5 million) is attributable to                                     
internal growth of the Company= s operations in the United States ($8.6 million) and in Europe                                      
($3.3 million). The growth of U.S. operations is mainly due to newly added locations.                                               
          Gross Profit.  Gross profit is defined as revenues less costs directly related to providing                               
services as well as certain indirect expenses such as airport offices, airport fees, local training                                 
and other direct labor related expenses such as uniforms and transportation.                                                        

          Gross profit declined in the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the year                                         
ended December 31, 1999 by a fraction. The decrease is mainly due to the low operating margins                                      
of the Company in the United States. Part of the decline is also related to startup costs with                                      
respect to the opening of new airport locations in Europe for approximately $910,000. Costs of                                      
expanding the operation of the APS during the year amounted to approximately $390,000.                                              

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative                                        
expenses as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.5% in the year ended December 31, 2000 as                                       
compared to the year ended December 31, 1999, and increased by $1.6 million. Such increase                                          
resulted primarily from additional expenses of approximately $472,000 attributable to the                                           
establishment of the European headquarters, and additional $860,000 of expenses in the United                                       
States in order to facilitate expansion of operations. Furthermore, formation of Aviation

Learning Network, B.V. (AALN@) and the consolidation of AMS attributed to an increase in                                            
general expenses.                                                                                                                   

          Financial (Expenses) Income, Net.  Financial (expenses) income, net includes interest                                     
income (net of interest expense), and adjustments due to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations                                   
on financial instruments. The expenses rose by approximately $527,000 due to an increase in the                                     
outstanding short and long term lines of credit used by the Company. A profit of approximately                                      
$851,000 was due to a stronger U.S. dollar in comparison to the Euro.                                                               

           Income on cash deposits rose slightly primarily due to an increase of interest rates                                     
earned on deposits held in U.S. dollars in the financial markets from approximately 4.0% in                                         
1999 to approximately 5.0% during most of 2000.                                                                                     

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2000 is                                                   
approximately $866,000.  This item reflects  the difference between the value of shares of Gilat                                    
at year end of $6.8 million and the value of such shares at the time of sale of John Bryce to Gilat                                 
of approximately $7.6 million.  Management believes there is a possibility that Gilat will recover                                  
from its present difficulties with a positive impact on its share value. Nevertheless, the                                          
uncertainty of recovery in the near future forced the Company to report a loss regarding its                                        
Gilat=s shares. The Company is reporting this loss as a conservative accounting adjustment                                          
although the Company has not yet disposed of these shares. In addition, the Company reported                                        
an additional loss of approximately $564,000 as a result of a loan extended in 1999 by the                                          
Company to a former shareholder of John Bryce in exchange for a pledge of 54,324 shares of                                          
Gilat and the right to purchase an additional 54,324 shares of Gilat.  Consequently due to the                                      
significant decline in the price of shares of Gilat (from $23.50 in 1999 to $2.50 as of December                                    
31, 2000) the Company wrote down the loan to fair market value of such shares.                                                      

Income Taxes.  The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate in the year ended                                               
December 31, 2000 was 47.4% as compared to 52.7% in the year ended December 31, 1999.                                               
This is mainly due to the Company deriving more income in countries with relatively low tax                                         
rates. Another explanation is the decline in statutory tax rates in Germany.                                                        

Equity in Results of Affiliates, Net.  Equity in results of affiliates, net, for the two years ended                                
December 31, 2000, includes the Company's share of profits of PI, Demco and an amortization                                         
of the Company's investment in the APS JV. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2000                                         
Company also shared in the losses of Ramasso and affiliates of AMS.                                                                 

Net Income.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income declined by approximately                                       
$1.2 million in 2000, to approximately $1.08 million, as compared to approximately $2.3 million                                     
in the year ended December 31, 1999.                                                                                                

Liquidity and Capital Resources                                                                                                     

         ICTS's principal cash requirement for its operations is the payment of wages. Working                                      
capital is financed primarily by cash from operating activities and by short-term borrowings. As

short term investments of $13.1 million and working capital of $15.2 million.                                                       

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was                                         
$61.6 million as compared to $987,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and net cash used                                        
in operating activities of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.   The increase in                                     
cash for the year ended December 31, 2002 was primarily attributable to net income of $56.8                                         
million increased by non-cash expenses of $12.3 million, shares in losses of associated                                             
companies of $2.0 million  and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $37.6 million, offset                                 
by decreases of cash attributable to an increase in deferred income taxes of $4.3 million and gain                                  
on the sale of ICTS's 55% interest in ICTS Europe of $42.8 million.  The changes in operating                                       
assets and liabilities were primarily attributable to an $8.8 million decrease in accounts                                          
receivable and an increase of $28.2 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities, which was                                    
primarily related to severance pay and employee's claims of $24.6 million in connection with the                                    
reduction of ICTS's aviation security activities.                                                                                   

         Net cash used in investing activities was $324,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002                                    
as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $23.5 million for the year ended                                        
December 31, 2001 and net cash used in investing activities of $2.7 million for the year ended                                      
December 31, 2000.  Net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the                                         
purchase of equipment of $20.3 million, of which $14.5 million was attributable to equipment                                        
which is the subject of a sale/leaseback transaction and the balance of which is primarily                                          
attributable to the construction and development of entertainment projects, $8.4 million for the                                    
acquisition of shares and granting of loans which is primarily attributable to ICTS's investments                                   
in Inksure Technologies, Inc., $9.1 million which was utilized to purchase other investments and                                    
$8.2 million attributable to the purchase of time deposits and restricted cash, purchases of                                        
marketable securities of $3.3 million, $1.3 million attributable to acquisitions of subsidiaries,                                   
and long term loans to related parties of $1.5 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of ICTS's                                  
55% interest in ICTS Europe of $49.4 million and other sources of cash provided by operating                                        
activities of $2.4 million.                                                                                                         

           Net cash used in financing activities was $46.1 million and $10.5 million for the years                                  
ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively and net cash provided by

$34.2 million repayment of long-term loans of $16.2 million and acquisition of treasury stock of                                    
$907,000 offset by cash provided by stock options exercised of $1.7 million, long-term loans of                                     
$8.9 million and increases in short-term bank credit of $3.3 million.                                                               

           In June 2002 ICTS purchased equipment for an aggregate purchase price of $23.5                                           
million. The purchase price was payable $14.5 million in cash and the balance subject to an $8.5                                    
million self amortizing non-recourse promissory note payable over five years. Pursuant to an                                        
operating lease, the equipment was leased to a private Dutch company. The lease provides for                                        
annual lease payments in the amount of $2.6 million and an option to purchase the equipment                                         
after five or seven years based upon the then fair market value. In the event that the lessee does

not exercise the option to purchase the equipment upon the expiration of the lease term, then                                       
ICTS will be obligated to pay license fees in connection with intellectual property associated                                      
with the equipment in an amount equal to 5% of the revenue derived from the use of the                                              
equipment if ICTS exercises its option to operate the equipment.                                                                    

           On February 17, 2002, ICTS entered into an aviation security services contract with the                                  
TSA to continue to provide aviation security services in all of its current airport locations until                                 
the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport                                  
basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 2, 2002.  In accordance with the contract, the                                     
U.S. Federal Government provided ICTS with a non-interest bearing partial payment of $26                                            
million to be repaid at the rate of  $1.3 million a month commencing April 2002.  As of                                             
December 31, 2002, $11.7 million of the $26 million had been repaid.  The TSA in accordance                                         
with standard practices is in the process of auditing ICTS's billings to the TSA pursuant to the                                    
contract with the TSA for the provision of aviation security services.  In the event that the TSA                                   
has a significant claim against ICTS and is successful, then there may be a material adverse                                        
effect on ICTS's financial condition.                                                                                               

          As a result of the September 11th terrorists attacks numerous lawsuits have been                                          
commenced against ICTS and its U.S. subsidiary.  The cases arise out of airport security services                                   
provided for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts which crashed                                          
into the World Trade Center.  In addition, to the present claims additional claims may be                                           
asserted. The outcome of these or additional cases is uncertain. If there is an adverse outcome                                     
with respect to any of these claims which is not covered by insurance, then there may be a                                          
significant adverse impact on us.

         The Company has outstanding a guaranty to ABN Amro for rent in the amount of

           Our future capital requirements, the timing and amount of expenditures will depend on                                    
our success in developing and implementing our new business strategy.  Based on our current                                         
plans, we believe that our existing cash balances, cash flows from operating and available                                          
borrowing will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

         ICTS has recently launched a trial phase of its IP@SS project.  IP@SS consists of a                                        
computerized platform integrating various technologies, including document readers, biometrics                                      
identification systems and a smart-card. The system is modular and may be used on a stand alone                                     
basis or integrated into an existing check-in system. The system has been designed to protect                                       
passenger privacy. The system is designed to speed up and simplify the processes of                                                 
identification and security checks of passengers at airports.  The system enhances customer                                         
service provided by airlines and airports to outbound passengers.                                                                   

           The project is being developed by ICTS and is performed in cooperation with various                                      
partners. The pilot program is being testedat Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands,                                       
Buenos Aires Airport, Argentina and at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey in the                                      
United States and is planned to be expanded in the near term to other European airports as well                                     
as other North American airports.

employees in Europe is approximately 125.                                                                                           

           In the United States, prior to the enactment of the Security Act  ICTS employed                                          
approximately 5,000 people, of which approximately 1,300 were unionized. Subsequent to the

enactment of the Security Act, but prior to November 2002  ICTS employed approximately                                              
11,000 people, of which approximately 1,300 were unionized.  Most of the unionized employees                                        
are skycaps and screeners. ICTS believes that its relationships with employees are generally                                        
good.  As a result of the TSA taking over airport security ICTS currently employ 3,000 persons.

         Options to Purchase Securities.                                                                                            

           On June 22, 1999 shareholders adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").                                       
The Plan provides a means whereby employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and                                       
independent contractors of the Company ("Qualified Grantees") may acquire the Common                                                
Shares of  the Company pursuant to grants of (I) Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") and (ii) "non-                                     
qualified stock options".  A summary of the significant provisions of the Plan is set forth below.                                  
The following description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan itself.                                 

           The purpose of the Plan is to further the long-term stability, continuing growth and                                     
financial success of the Company by attracting and retaining key employees, directors and                                           
selected advisors through the use of stock incentives, while stimulating the efforts of these                                       
individuals upon whose judgment and interest the Company is and will be largely dependent for                                       
the successful conduct of its business.  The Company believes that the Plan will strengthen these                                   
individuals' desire to remain with the Company and will further the identification of their                                         
interests with those of the Company's shareholders.                                                                                 

           The Plan provides that options to purchase up to 600,000 Common Shares of the                                            
Company may be issued to the  employees and outside directors.  All present and future                                              
employees shall be eligible to receive incentive awards under the Plan, and all present and future                                  
non-employee directors shall be eligible to receive non-statutory options under the Plan.  An                                       
eligible employee or non-employee director shall be notified in writing, stating the number of                                      
shares for which options are granted, the option price per share, and conditions surrounding the                                    
grant and exercise of the options.                                                                                                  

           The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered by an ISO shall not be less than                                   
100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant; provided that if an ISO is                                       
granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant, is a 10% shareholder, then the exercise                                       
price of the shares covered by the incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of the fair                                   
market value of such shares on the date of the grant.  The exercise price of shares covered by a                                    
non-qualified stock option shall be not less than 85% of the fair market value of such shares on                                    
the date of the grant. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee.                                                

           As of May 31, 2003 ICTS has granted options to purchase 337,500 Common Shares, all                                       
of which have been granted to directors and executive officers of the Company as a group, at                                        
exercise prices ranging from $4.50 to $8.50 per share under the Plan.  These options vest over                                      
various terms, ranging from immediately to five years.  Outstanding options expire at various                                       
times, but not later than January 2007.

         As a result of the September 11th terrorists attacks numerous lawsuits have commenced                                      
against Huntleigh and ICTS. Huntleigh has been named in 27 lawsuits and ICTS in 25 lawsuits                                         
All of the cases were filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.                                     
The cases arise out of Huntleigh's airport security service for United Flight 175 out of Logan                                      
Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. All of the cases involve wrongful death except one which                                          
involves property damage. The cases are in their early stages.                                                                      

                                                       45

         Although these are the only claims brought against Huntleigh and ICTS with respect to                                      
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Huntleigh and ICTS anticipate additional related                                       
claims. See " Risk Factors-Potential For Liability Claims."                                                                         

         Under current legislation companies that entered into agreements with the TSA have                                         
their liability limited to the amount of insurance coverage that they carry. The legislation applies                                
to Huntleigh, but not ICTS.                                                                                                         

         In addition, Huntleigh has been served in a class action suit by former employees of                                       
ICTS for the payment of a bonus of approximately $5.6 million, which bonus was promised to                                          
employees by the TSA. It is Huntleigh's position that the bonus has not been paid to it by the                                      
TSA and until the TSA pays the funds to ICTS the bonus can not be paid to employees. The case                                       
is pending in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma.

         On each of July 23, 2001 and May 13, 2002, ICTS declared and paid a $2.25 dividend                                         
per Share ($1.69 net of all withholding taxes required by The Netherlands) and on December 10,                                      
2002 ICTS declared and paid a dividend of $3.00 per share (net of all withholding taxes required                                    
by The Netherlands). For a discussion of the applicable taxes on such dividends see,                                                
"Netherlands Dividend Withholding Tax". The declaration of dividends will be at the discretion                                      
of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial                                        
position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We cannot assure you that                                       
dividends will be paid in the future.

Supervisory Board, distribute one or more interim dividends on the common shares before the                                         
annual accounts have been approved by the Company's shareholders. Existing reserves that are                                        
distributable in accordance with Netherlands law may be made available for distribution upon                                        
proposal by the  Management Board, subject to prior approval by the Supervisory Board. With                                         
respect to cash payments, the rights to dividends and distributions shall lapse if such dividends                                   
or distributions are not claimed within five years following the day after the date on which they                                   
were made available.

Company's Articles of Association provide that the term of office of each Supervisory Director                                      
will expire no later than June in each calendar year.  Members of the Supervisory Board may be

The Company's general meetings of shareholders will be held at least once a year, not later than                                    
six months after the end of the fiscal year. Notices convening a general meeting will be mailed to

A resolution presented to the general meeting of shareholders amending the Company's Articles                                       
of Association or winding up the Company may only be taken after a proposal made by the                                             
Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. A resolution to dissolve the                                                
Company must be approved by at least a three-fourths majority of the votes cast. Approval of

The Company's annual Netherlands statutory accounts, together with a certificate of its auditors,                                   
will be submitted to the general meeting of shareholders for approval. Consistent with business                                     
practice in The Netherlands and as provided by the Company's Articles of Association, approval                                      
of the annual accounts by the shareholders discharges the Management Board and the                                                  
Supervisory Board from liability for the performance of their respective duties for the past                                        
financial year. Under Netherlands law, this discharge is not absolute and will not be effective                                     
with respect to matters which are not disclosed to the shareholders.                                                                

Liquidation Rights                                                                                                                  

In the event of the Company's dissolution and liquidation, the assets remaining after payment of                                    
all debts and liquidation expenses are to be divided proportionately among the holders of the                                       
common shares.                                                                                                                      
         Issues of Shares; Pre-emptive Rights                                                                                       

         The Company's Supervisory Board  has the power to issue shares.  The shareholders                                          
have by a authorizing resolution provided such authority for a five year period ending June 30,                                     
2006. The number of shares the Supervisory Board is authorized to issue must be set at the time                                     
of the resolution and may not exceed 17,000,000 shares of the common shares then outstanding.                                       

         Shareholders have a pro rata pre-emptive right of subscription to any common shares                                        
issued for the purpose of raising capital, which right may be limited or eliminated. If designated                                  
for this purpose by the general meeting of shareholders (whether by means of any authorizing                                        
resolution or an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association).                                                               

         Repurchase and Cancellation of Shares                                                                                      

         The Company may repurchase its common shares, subject to compliance with the                                               
requirements of certain laws of The Netherlands (and provided the aggregate nominal value of                                        
the Company's common shares acquired by it at any one time amounts to no more than one-                                             
tenth of its issued share capital). Common shares owned by the Company may not be voted or                                          
counted for quorum purposes. Any such purchases are subject to the approval of the Supervisory                                      
Board and the authorization of the general meeting of shareholders. Authorization is not                                            
effective for more than 18 months. The Company may resell shares it purchases. Upon a                                               
proposal of the Management Board and approval of the Supervisory Board, the Company's                                               
shareholders at the general meeting shall have the power to decide to cancel shares acquired by

the Company or to reduce the nominal value of the common shares. Any such proposal is subject                                       
to general requirements of Netherlands law with respect to reduction of share capital.                                              

         Shares may only be cancelled by vote of the shareholders at the general meeting. Only                                      
shares which the Company holds or for which it holds the depository receipts may be cancelled.                                      
However, an entire class may be cancelled provided the Company repays the par value to the                                          
holders of such shares.

         The following discussion summarizes the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax                                       
consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares by a U.S. Holder (as                                           
defined below). This summary deals only with shares held as capital assets and does not deal                                        
with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors some of which (such as tax-                                     
exempt entities, banks, broker-dealers, investors who hold shares as part of hedging or                                             
conversion transactions and investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be                                      
subject to special rules. This summary does not deal with the tax consequences for U.S. Holders                                     
who own at any time directly or indirectly through certain related parties 10% or more of the                                       
voting stock or nominal paid-in capital of the Company.

potential tax consequences of holding shares, nor does it purport to furnish information in same                                    
detail or with attention to an investor's specific tax circumstances that would be provided by an                                   
investor's own tax adviser. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of shares are advised to consult                                    
their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances and with respect to the                                       
effects of U.S. federal, state, local, or other laws to which they may be subject.                                                  

                  As used herein, the term 'U.S. Holder' means a beneficial owner of shares that is                                 
(I) for United States federal income tax purposes a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a                                
corporation or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any

                  The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the                                        
'Code'), judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposed Treasury                                      
regulations, changes to any of which after the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F could                                        
apply on a retroactive basis and affect the tax consequences described herein.                                                      

           Taxation of Dividends                                                                                                    

                  For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of distributions (including                                
any withholding tax thereon) made by the Company out of its current or accumulated earnings                                         
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) will be included in the gross                                  
income of a direct U.S. Holder as foreign source dividend income on the date of receipt but will                                    
not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations.                                        
Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits of the Company will be treated, for U.S.                                        
federal income tax purposes, first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S.                                      
Holder's basis in the shares (thereby increasing the amount of any gain and decreasing the                                          
amount of any loss realized on the subsequent disposition of such shares) and then as a gain from                                   
the sale or exchange of the shares. The amount of any dividend paid in euro will be equal to the                                    
U.S. dollar value of the euro on the date of receipt regardless of whether the U.S. Holder                                          
converts the payment into U.S. dollars. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder                                           
resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend is                                       
includable to the date such payment is converted into U.S. dollars and any exchange gain or loss                                    
will be ordinary income or loss.                                                                                                    

           Foreign Tax Credits                                                                                                      

                  U.S. Holders will generally be entitled to claim a credit against their United States                             
federal income tax liability for the amount of Netherlands dividend withholding tax imposed on                                      
dividends paid to U.S. Holders. See  Netherlands Dividend Withholding Tax.. U.S. Holders who                                        
are entitled to the benefits of a reduced rate of Netherlands dividend withholding tax under the                                    
U.S. Tax Treaty will be allowed a credit for only the amount of withholding tax provided for                                        
under the U.S. Tax Treaty (i.e. 15%). However, the full amount of the dividend, including any                                       
withheld amounts in excess of 15%, will be subject to current United States federal income                                          
taxation whether or not such Holder obtained a refund of the excess amount withheld. The U.S.                                       
Holder is also entitled to a U.S. foreign tax credit for Dutch corporate taxes assessed on the                                      
earnings and profits that are distributed. To the extent that Dutch corporate income tax has                                        
reduced the accumulated earnings and profits (i.e. the taxes have been paid or at least accrued                                     
with an assessment), these taxes accompany the dividend at the same pro-rata percentage as the                                      
dividend to the accumulated earnings and profits. The dividend income against which U.S. tax is                                     
assessed must be grossed up by the amount of Dutch taxes to be claimed as a credit in order to                                      
reverse the effect of the reduction to taxable earnings and profits. The amount of the credit for                                   
Netherlands income tax in accordance with the U.S. Tax Treaty will be subject to limitations                                        
contained in the foreign tax credit provisions of the Code. In the event the Company pays a                                         

                                                       51

dividend to a U.S. Holder out of the earnings of a non-Dutch subsidiary, however, it is possible                                    
that under certain circumstances such U.S. Holder would not be entitled to claim a credit for a                                     
portion of any Dutch taxes withheld by the Company from such dividend. The portion of Dutch                                         
withholding tax that may not be creditable in this instance equals a maximum of 3% of the gross                                     
amount of such dividend (or 20% of the Dutch taxes withheld in the case of a U.S. Holder                                            
entitled to claim a 15% withholding rate under the U.S. Tax Treaty). This limitation could only                                     
potentially apply under circumstances where the Company pays dividends on the shares.                                               

                  Depending on the particular circumstances of the U.S. Holder, dividends accrued                                   
from shares will  generally be classified, for foreign tax credit purposes, as passive income or                                    
financial services income. A U.S. Holder who finds it more advantageous because of such                                             
limitations, to claim The Netherlands dividend withholding tax as a deduction instead of a credit                                   
may do so, but only for a year for which such Holder does not claim a credit for any foreign                                        
taxes. If the U.S.Holder is a U.S .partnership, trust, or estate, any tax credit is available only to                               
the extent that the income derived by such partnership, trusts, or estate is subject to U.S. tax on                                 
the income of a resident either in its hands or in the hands of its partners or beneficiaries, as the                               
case may be.                                                                                                                        

           Taxation on Sale or Disposition of Shares                                                                                

                   U.S. Holders will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax                                     
purposes on the sale or other disposition of shares in an amount equal to the difference between                                    
the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the                                        
shares. In general, a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares will be equal to the amount                                    
paid by the U.S. Holder for such shares. For shares held less than a year, any such gain or loss                                    
will generally be treated as short-term gain or loss and taxed as ordinary gain or loss. If the                                     
shares have been held for more than a year, any such gain or loss will generally be treated as                                      
long-term capital gain or loss. Rates of tax on long-term capital gains vary depending on the                                       
holding period. U.S. Holders are advised to consult a competent tax adviser regarding applicable                                    
capital gains tax provisions and sourcing of capital gains and losses for foreign tax credit                                        
purposes.                                                                                                                           

           Gift and Estate Tax                                                                                                      

                  An individual U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. gift and estate taxes on shares                                  
in the same manner and to the same extent as on other types of personal property.                                                   

           Backup Withholding and Information Reporting                                                                             

                  Payments in respect of the shares may be subject to information reporting to the                                  
U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to a 31% U.S. backup withholding tax. Backup withholding                                          
generally will not apply, however, to a Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification                                      
number or certificate of foreign status and makes any other required certification or who is                                        
otherwise exempt from backup withholding. Generally, a U.S. Holder will provide such                                                
certification on Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) and a                                      

                                                       52

non-US Holder will provide such certification on Form W-8 (Certificate of Foreign Status).                                          

           Foreign Personal Holding Companies                                                                                       

         The Company or any of its non-US subsidiaries may be classified as a 'foreign personal                                     
holding company' ('FPHC') if in any taxable year five or fewer persons who are U.S. citizens or                                     
residents own (directly or constructively after the application of certain attribution rules) more                                  
than 50% of the Company's stock (a 'US Group') and more than 60% of the gross income of the                                         
Company or of any subsidiary consists of passive income for purposes of the  FPHC rules. There                                      
is a look-through rule for dividends and interest received from related persons. Accordingly,                                       
dividends and interest received by the Company from its subsidiaries will be re-characterized                                       
based on the income of the subsidiaries.                                                                                            

          If the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or becomes a  FPHC, each U.S.Holder of the                                   
Company (including a U.S. corporation) who held stock in the Company on the last day of the                                         
taxable year of the Company, or, if earlier, the last day of its taxable year in which a U.S. Group                                 
existed with respect to the Company, is required to include in gross income as a dividend such                                      
shareholder's pro rata portion of the undistributed  FPHC income of the Company or the                                              
subsidiary, even if no cash dividend was actually paid. In this case, if the Company is a  FPHC, a                                  
U.S. Holder is entitled to increase its tax basis in the shares of the Company by the amount of a                                   
deemed dividend from the Company. If a subsidiary of the Company is a  FPHC, a U.S. Holder                                          
in the Company should be afforded similar relief, although the law is unclear as to the form of                                     
the relief.                                                                                                                         

         Passive Foreign Investment Companies                                                                                       

                  In 2001 ICTS sold its European operations and received substantial amounts of                                     
cash from that sale in 2001 and 2002.  Depending upon what occurs in 2003 and 2004, ICTS                                            
may be deemed to have become a passive foreign investment company (APFIC@) in 2002 for                                              
federal income tax purposes. The PFIC rules apply to a company like ICTS that is engaged in an                                      
active trade or business if the company meets either of two mechanical tests that compares its                                      
Apassive income@ to its gross income or compares the value of its Apassive assets@ to the overall                                   
value of the company. As a result of ICTS=s receipt of cash in 2002 and the decline in the price                                    
of its shares, ICTS appears to meet the test that treats a foreign company as a PFIC if the value                                   
of its gross passive assets is at least 50% of the value of all of its assets, if the value at which                                
ICTS=s shares trade fairly reflects the value of the assets of ICTS and if cash held as working                                     
capital is a passive asset. The published position of the Internal Revenue Service is that cash held                                
as working capital is a passive asset. However, this published position has not been promulgated                                    
in regulations and has no legal effect, and no official guidance of any other kind has been issued                                  
on the question. Therefore, it is unclear whether ICTS is a PFIC.                                                                   

         However, under a special exception, a corporation is not treated as a PFIC for a taxable                                   
year if (A) that corporation was not a PFIC for any prior taxable year, (B) it is established to the                                
IRS=s satisfaction that (i)  substantially all of the passive income of the corporation for the                                     
taxable year is attributable to proceeds from the disposition of one or more active trades or                                       

                                                       53

businesses, and (ii) the corporation will not be a PFIC for either of the first or second taxable                                   
years following that taxable year, and (C) in fact the corporation is not a PFIC for either of those                                
two taxable years.  ICTS believes that this special exception will apply to ICTS if ICTS is not a                                   
PFIC for 2003 and 2004.  ICTS believes that its present plans for its use of cash will prevent                                      
ICTS from being a PFIC in 2003 and 2004.  However, because ICTS=s status as a PFIC for 2002,                                        
2003 and 2004 depend upon future events, there can be no assurance that ICTS was not a PFIC                                         
for 2002 and will not be a PFIC for 2003 or thereafter.                                                                             

         If ICTS became a PFIC in 2002, there are important United States federal income tax                                        
considerations that would apply both to U.S. Persons who continue to hold ICTS shares and to                                        
U.S. Persons who have disposed or will dispose of shares of ICTS in 2002 or later.                                                  

         U.S. Persons will, if ICTS is or has been a PFIC while they owned ICTS shares, be                                          
subject to the PFIC regime going forward, even if in the future ICTS no longer meets either of                                      
the PFIC tests described above. A U.S. Person who is a shareholder in a PFIC is required to                                         
report ownership of the PFIC on IRS Form 8621 and is subject to special rules relating to                                           
distributions from the PFIC and gain on disposition of shares in the PFIC.                                                          

         A AU.S. Person" means (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a U.S. domestic                                 
partnership, (iii) a U.S. domestic corporation, (iv) any estate (other than a foreign estate), and (v)                              
any trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the                                      
administration of the trust, and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all                                         
substantial decisions of the trust.                                                                                                 

         A distribution on PFIC stock is treated as ordinary income. The distribution is                                            
subject to an interest charge to the extent that it is an Aexcess distribution.@ An excess                                          
distribution is a distribution that exceeds 125% of the average distributions in the three                                          
preceding taxable years, except that during a shareholder=s first taxable year of PFIC                                              
ownership no distribution is an excess distribution. The portion of a distribution that is an                                       
excess distribution is allocated ratably to each day in the shareholder=s holding period.                                           
The portion that is allocated to the days in such holding period, other than days in the                                            
current taxable year, during which the foreign corporation was a PFIC (the Aprior PFIC                                              
years@) is subject to tax at the highest corporate or individual (as appropriate) tax rate in                                       
effect for each of the prior PFIC years. This tax is then subject to an interest charge at the                                      
rate applicable to tax underpayments. The tax underpayment rate is determined quarterly;                                            
for 2002, for example, it was 6% (except for large corporate underpayments, for which is                                            
was 8%).                                                                                                                            

         Gain recognized on disposition of PFIC shares is also treated as an Aexcess                                                
distribution@ and is subject to these rules. Under attribution rules, PFIC stock owned by                                           
one or more intermediate entities (corporations, partnerships, estates or trusts) is deemed                                         
to be owned by certain U.S. investors with interests in such entities.  If a U.S. investor is                                       
deemed to own PFIC stock under the attribution rules then, under proposed Treasury                                                  
Department regulations, (i) an actual disposition of the PFIC stock by an intermediate                                              
entity would be treated as if the U.S. person had disposed of the PFIC stock and (ii) a                                             

                                                    54                                                                              

20-F 54th Page of 116 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 54th
disposition of an interest in an intermediate entity could be treated as a disposition of the                                       
PFIC stock. These proposed regulations would also treat the period for which PFIC stock                                             
was subject to a purchase option as if it were held by the option holder for purposes of                                            
the holding period interest charge rules. Although these regulations that were proposed in                                          
1992, they have never been finalized.                                                                                               

         Two statutory elections could mitigate the effect of these rules, an election to treat                                     
a foreign corporation as a Aqualified electing fund@ (AQEF@) and an election to mark the                                            
PFIC stock to market. The qualified electing fund election  requires that the PFIC agree                                            
to provide detailed U.S. tax information to each U.S. shareholder, and ICTS may not be                                              
in a position to provide this information [REALLY?].  In general, a QEF election for                                                
2002 must be made by the due date, including extensions, of the U.S. shareholder=s                                                  
federal income tax return for 2002.  The mark-to-market election must be made with the                                              
original return for the taxable year in which the stock is marked to market.  IN VIEW OF                                            
THESE FILING DATES, U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO HAVE REQUESTED                                                                             
EXTENSIONS OF TIME TO FILE 2002 TAX RETURNS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR                                                                    
TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE ADVISABILITY OF MAKING EITHER OF                                                                        
THESE ELECTIONS.                                                                                                                    

         The extent to which any of these rules would apply to a U.S. holder of ICTS                                                
shares would depend upon the shareholder=s own circumstances including the date on                                                  
which ICTS shares were acquired and the shareholder=s basis for the shares.  Moreover,                                              
the determination of whether a QEF election or a mark-to-market election would be                                                   
beneficial also depends upon the shareholder=s circumstances.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH                                                    
U.S. PERSON WHO DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS ICTS SHARES IS                                                                          
URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS U.S. TAX ADVISOR.                                                                                  

         Taxes in the Netherlands                                                                                                   

         The following is a general discussion of the tax laws in the Netherlands as they                                           
relate to the operations of the Company :                                                                                           

         Corporate Income Taxes                                                                                                     

                  Each subsidiary of ICTS is subject to taxation according to the applicable                                        
tax laws with respect to its place of incorporation, residency or operations.  ICTS is                                              
incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and is therefore subject to the tax laws of                                          
the Netherlands. Until recently, ICTS received from its subsidiaries and affiliates (with                                           
the exception of ICTS USA Inc. and the Company's Israeli subsidiary) management fees                                                
or royalty payments under license agreements by which ICTS provides such companies                                                  
with a license to utilize the expertise of ICTS.  Commencing July 1, 2000 such royalties                                            
due to ICTS from its European subsidiaries were distributed to ICTS Europe and as such                                              
ICTS does not derive any monies with respect to these royalties and is not subject to any                                           

                                                   55

corporate income tax in this respect in the Netherlands.                                                                            

                  As of January 1 2002, for Dutch corporate income tax purposes business                                            
affiliates should calculate their profits at arms length. Therefore, if in transactions                                             
between such affiliates, certain benefits are bestowed on either entity because of such                                             
affiliation and if any profits are realized due to such association, then both entities should                                      
include such profits as part of their income.                                                                                       

         Participation exemption                                                                                                    

                  In addition, all income of ICTS arising from dividends paid by its                                                
subsidiaries or affiliates or capital gains from the sale of its shares in subsidiaries or                                          
affiliates is exempt from corporate income tax in the Netherlands if the following                                                  
conditions are fulfilled: (i) ICTS must hold at least 5% of the nominal paid-in capital of                                          
the subsidiary or affiliate, (ii) the subsidiary or affiliate must be an operating company,                                         
(iii) the subsidiary or affiliate must be subject to taxation of its profits in its jurisdiction                                    
of incorporation or residence and (iv) for non-European Community subsidiaries or                                                   
affiliates or for European Community subsidiaries or affiliates in which ICTS owns less                                             
than 25% of the nominal paid-in capital, as well as for larger shareholdings if the EU                                              
company is to benefit from the participation exemption, ICTS must not hold the shares in                                            
the subsidiary or the affiliate merely as a portfolio investment (which is deemed to be the                                         
case if the activities of the subsidiary or affiliate consist mainly of the financing (directly                                     
or indirectly) entities related to ICTS or assets of such entities).  The Company currently                                         
fulfills these requirements.  Consequently, all income of ICTS arising from dividends                                               
paid by its subsidiaries or affiliates or capital gains from the sale of its shares in its                                          
subsidiaries or affiliates is exempt from corporate income tax in the Netherlands.                                                  

                  The sale of the European operations also falls under the same tax                                                 
schedule, and as such, the sale is considered exempt from corporate income tax in the                                               
Netherlands.                                                                                                                        

                  The following is a summary of Netherlands tax consequences to a holder                                            
of Common Shares who is not, or is not deemed to be, a resident of the Netherlands for                                              
purposes of the relevant tax codes (a "non-resident Shareholder") and is based upon laws

         Dividend Withholding Tax in the Netherlands                                                                                

                  ICTS currently does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable                                        
future.  To the extent that dividends are distributed by ICTS, such dividends ordinarily                                            
would be subject, under the tax laws of the Netherlands, to a withholding tax at a rate of                                          
25%.  Dividends include distributions in cash or in kind, constructive dividends and                                                
redemption and liquidation proceeds in excess of, for the Netherlands tax purposes,                                                 
recognized paid-in capital.  Share dividends are also subject to the Netherlands dividend                                           
withholding tax, unless distributed out of the paid-in share premium of ICTS as                                                     
recognized for tax purposes in the Netherlands.                                                                                     

                  A non-resident Shareholder can be eligible for a reduction or a refund of                                         
the  Dutch dividend withholding tax under a tax convention which is in effect between                                               
the country of residence of the shareholder and the Netherlands.  The Netherlands has                                               
concluded such conventions with, among others, the United States, most European                                                     
Community countries, Canada, Switzerland and Japan.  Under most of these conventions,                                               
a dividend withholding tax in the Netherlands is reduced to a rate of 15% or less.                                                  

                  Under the tax convention currently in force between the United States and                                         
the Netherlands (the "Treaty"), dividends paid by ICTS to an individual shareholder                                                 
resident in the United States or a corporate shareholder organized under the laws of the                                            
United States or any State or territory thereof entitled to the benefits of the Treaty (each,                                       
a "U.S. Treaty Shareholder") are generally eligible for a reduction in the rate of the                                              
Netherlands= dividend withholding to 15%, unless such U.S. Treaty Shareholder has a                                                 
permanent establishment in the Netherlands to which the Common Shares are                                                           
attributable.                                                                                                                       

                  Generally, there is no dividend withholding tax applicable in the                                                 
Netherlands on the sale or disposition of Common Shares to persons other than ICTS or                                               
its subsidiaries or affiliates. In case of sale or disposition of common shares to ICTS or                                          
any of its subsidiaries, the dividend withholding tax in the Netherlands may apply.                                                 
However, after January 1, 2001, in limited circumstances, the Dutch dividend                                                        
withholding tax will not apply to repurchases of shares by ICTS.                                                                    

                  In addition, in an effort to reduce the practice of dividend stripping to                                         
reduce or avoid the applicable taxes, the Dutch tax authorities have introduced new laws                                            
to avoid such practices effective retroactively from April 27, 2001.                                                                

                  Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax in the Netherlands                                                            

                  A non-resident Shareholder will not be subject to income tax and                                                  
corporate income tax in the Netherlands with respect to dividends distributed by ICTS on                                            
the Common Shares or with respect to capital gains derived from the sale or disposal of                                             
Common Shares, provided that:                                                                                                       

                                                   57

                  (a) the non-resident Shareholder does not carry on a business in the                                              
Netherlands through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative to which                                                
or to whom the Common Shares are attributable; and                                                                                  

                  (b) the non-resident Shareholder does not have a direct or indirect                                               
substantial interest or deemed substantial interest in the share capital of ICTS as defined                                         
in the tax code in the Netherlands or, in the event the non-resident Shareholder does have                                          
such a substantial interest, such interest forms part of the assets of an enterprise of that                                        
non-resident Shareholder; and                                                                                                       

                  (c) the non-resident Shareholder is not entitled to a share in the profits of                                     
an enterprise effectively managed in the Netherlands, other than through ownership of                                               
securities or through employment, to which enterprise the Common Shares are                                                         
attributable.                                                                                                                       

                  Generally, a substantial interest in the share capital of ICTS does not exist                                     
if the non-resident Shareholder, alone or together with certain close relatives, does not                                           
own, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the issued capital of any class of shares in                                             
ICTS, options to acquire 5% or more of the issued capital of any class of shares or certain                                         
profit-sharing rights. In case of a substantial interest claims the non-resident Shareholder                                        
has on ICTS may belong to such substantial interest. Non-resident Shareholders owning a                                             
substantial interest in ICTS may be subject to income tax upon the occurrence of certain                                            
events, for example when they cease to own a substantial interest.                                                                  

                  The above paragraph concerning substantial interest holders refers to tax                                         
legislation which became effective January 1, 1997.  Special rules may apply to non-                                                
resident Shareholders who owned a substantial interest or deemed substantial interest                                               
under the rules applicable before such dates and to non-resident Shareholders who own a                                             
substantial interest or deemed substantial interest as a result of modifications of the                                             
special tax regime for substantial interest holders as of such dates.                                                               

                  As of January 1, 2001, a non-resident individual taxpayer can opt to be                                           
treated like a resident of the Netherlands for tax purposes.  This choice will allow the                                            
individual to benefit from deductions and other tax benefits only available to residents of                                         
the Netherlands.  However, in most cases, this choice may not prove beneficial since then                                           
the individual will be liable for its worldwide income as well as its entire worldwide                                              
holdings to taxes in the Netherlands.                                                                                               

         Net Wealth Tax in the Netherlands                                                                                          

                  A non-resident individual Shareholder is not subject to net wealth tax in                                         
the Netherlands with respect to the Common Shares, provided: (i) the Common Shares                                                  
are not an asset attributable to a resident enterprise or to a permanent establishment or a                                         
permanent representative of a non-resident enterprise, as well as the Common Shares are                                             
not an asset that comes of a co-entitlement other than being a shareholder, in such an

an enterprise effectively managed in the Netherlands, other than through ownership of                                               
securities or through employment, to which enterprise the Common Shares are                                                         
attributable.  Corporations are not subject to net wealth tax in the Netherlands.                                                   
Furthermore, the net wealth tax in the Netherlands was abolished on January 1, 2001.                                                

         Gift, Inheritance Tax and Transfer Tax Upon Gift or Death in the                                                           
Netherlands                                                                                                                         

                  A gift or inheritance of Common Shares from a non-resident Shareholder                                            
will not be subject to gift, inheritance tax, and transfer tax upon gift or death in the                                            
Netherlands provided that:                                                                                                          

                  (a) (i) the Common Shares are not an asset attributable to a resident                                             
enterprise or to a permanent establishment or a permanent  representative of a non-                                                 
resident enterprise, as well as the Common Shares are not an asset that comes of a co-                                              
entitlement other than being a shareholder, in such an enterprise and (ii) the non-resident                                         
Shareholder is not entitled to a share in the profits of an enterprise effectively managed in                                       
the Netherlands, other than through ownership of securities or through employment, to                                               
which enterprise the Common Shares are attributable.                                                                                

                  (b) the Common Shares held by the non-resident do not qualify as

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS                                                                                                      

To the Shareholders of                                                                                                              
ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V.                                                                                                             

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of ICTS  International N.V. ("the Company")                          
and its  subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2002 and 2001,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of                          
operations  and  comprehensive  income,  changes  in  shareholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the                          
three years in the period ended  December 31,  2002. These financial  statements are the responsibility of                          
the Company's  board of directors and  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  included  in                          
consolidation,  constitute  approximately 2% and 17% of total consolidated assets as of December 31,  2002                          
and 2001,  respectively,  and whose revenues included in consolidation  constitute approximately 0.3%, 14%                          
and  6.9%  of  total  consolidated  revenues  for the  years  ended  December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000                          
respectively.  We did not audit the financial  statements of certain associated  companies,  the Company's                          
investment in which,  as reflected in the balance  sheets as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 is $9.6 million                          
and $0.8 million,  respectively,  and the  Company's  share in excess of losses over profits of which is a                          
net amount of $1.6 million,  $39 and $214 in 2002, 2001and 2000,  respectively.  The financial  statements                          
of those subsidiaries and associated companies were audited by other independent  auditors,  whose reports                          
have been  furnished  to us,  and our  opinion,  insofar  as it  relates  to  amounts  included  for those                          
subsidiaries, is based on the reports of the other independent auditors.                                                            

We conducted our audits in  accordance  with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in Israel and in the                          
United  States of America  including  those  prescribed  by the  Israeli  auditors  (Mode of  performance)                          
Regulations,  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                          
Company's  board of directors  and  management,  as well as  evaluating  the overall  financial  statement                          
presentation.  We believe  that our audits and the  reports of the other  independent  auditors  provide a                          
reasonable basis for our opinion.                                                                                                   

In our opinion,  based on our audits and the reports of the other independent  auditors,  the consolidated                          
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,  2002 and  2001,  and the                          
consolidated  results of their operations and  comprehensive  income,  the changes in their  shareholders                           
equity  and their  cash  flows for each of the three  years in the  period  ended  December 31,  2002,  in                          
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.                                           

F-1

As  discussed  in note  2q to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  financial  statements  as of                          
December 31, 2001 and 2000 were adjusted  retroactively,  in order to reflect, the change in the method of                          
accounting  of an  investment  in a  certain  company,  which  was  accounted  for as  available  for sale                          
securities, to the equity method.                                                                                                   

As discussed in note 2g to the consolidated  financial statements,  effective January 1, 2002, the Company                          
changed its method of  accounting  for  goodwill to conform with FASB  Statement  of Financial  Accounting                          
Standard No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

NOTE 1 - GENERAL:                                                                                                                   

             a.   Operations                                                                                                        

                  ICTS International N.V., including its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "ICTS" or "the            
                  Company"), is a provider of aviation security and other aviation related services. ICTS also engages in           
                  certain other activities, including constructing and developing entertainment related projects, and               
                  leasing of equipment.                                                                                             
                  As discussed in c. below as of January 1, 2002 the Company sold most of its European operations. As               
                  mentioned in b. below, in 2002 the Company derived a substantial portion of its revenues from providing           
                  aviation security services to the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"). Commencing November             
                  2002 the Company ceased providing such services to the TSA but continues to provide such services to              
                  aviation companies and others. As to Segment information see note 18.                                             

             b.   Effect of the events of September 11, 2001 and Aviation and Transportation Security Act                           

On November 19, 2001, as a result of the events of September 11, 2001, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act was             
signed into law. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act made airport security including security screening                    
operations for passenger air transportation and intrastate air transportation a direct responsibility of the Federal                
government as administered by the TSA. As a result, in accordance with a contract signed with the TSA ("TSA Contract"),             
the Company has provided screening services in its airport locations during the transition period through November 2002,            
when all such activities were transferred to the TSA. Through December 31, 2002, the Company has recorded revenues of               
approximately $ 205 million from the TSA. As a result of the foregoing the Company closed certain locations and                     
dismissed part of its employees. Closure and severance expenses in the amount of $ 27.3 are included in operating                   
expenses. As to the TSA audit and outstanding issues, see note 14b3).

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (continued):                                                                                                       

             c.   Sale of  ICTS Europe Holding B.V. ("ICTS Europe"):                                                                

                  1)   On October 5, 2000, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase                 
                       Agreement") with Civil Aviation Security Services GmbH ("Civas"), whereby Civas was to acquire, in           
                       two stages, 100% of the shares of ICTS Europe, for a purchase price of approximately $100                    
                       million, in cash. ICTS Europe is a provider of security services in Europe, except for the                   
                       Netherlands and the Soviet Union Republics. As part of the first stage of the transaction, Civas             
                       acquired 45% of the outstanding shares in ICTS Europe from the Company for a cash payment in the             
                       amount of $45 million on January 3, 2001.  The sale of the remaining 55% of the shares in ICTS               
                       Europe was to be completed on December 31, 2003.                                                             

                       Pursuant to an addendum to the Share Purchase Agreement, signed on December 19, 2001 (the                    
                       "Addendum"), Civas and ICTS agreed that the sale of the remaining 55% of the shares in ICTS Europe           
                       was to be completed in the first quarter of 2002.  As part of said agreement, Fraport, AG                    
                       ("Fraport"), the parent company of Civas, became the purchaser of the remaining 55% of the shares            
                       for a consideration of approximately $58 million.                                                            

                       As a result of the sale, the Company has fully divested itself of its European operations except             
                       for the operations of the Companys subsidiary in the Netherlands and countries that were formerly            
                       part of the Soviet Union republics, including Russia, Georgia and Kazakhstan, and took upon                  
                       certain restrictions on its operations, see note14c.                                                         

                       The capital gains on these sales, net of transaction expenses, were approximately $42 million and            
                       $34 million, and were included in the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively.                         

                       Immediately following the signing of the addendum, as above, and under its provisions, ICTS could            
                       no longer exercise control over ICTS Europe. Therefore, as of December 31, 2001 ICTS Europe's                
                       assets and liabilities were excluded from consolidation; however, the 2001 consolidated results of           
                       operations include the results of ICTS Europe through December 31, 2001.                                     

                  2)   The following table presents the operating data of ICTS Europe included in the financial                     
                       statements:

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                                                   
                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (continued):                                                                                                       

             d.   Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements                                                       

                  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP (as defined herein) requires                 
                  management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities           
                  and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the              
                  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ              
                  from those estimates.                                                                                             

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                                                            

             The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally            
             accepted in the USA ("U.S. GAAP").                                                                                     

             The significant accounting policies are as follows:                                                                    

             a.   Functional and reporting currency                                                                                 

                  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars ("dollars" or "$"). As of                
                  January 1, 2002, subsequent to the sale of the Company's European activities, see note 1c,                        
                  substantially all of the revenues of ICTS and its U.S. operations are received, and substantially all             
                  of its operating costs are incurred, in dollars. The functional currency of ICTS and its U.S.                     
                  operations is the dollar (prior to January 1, 2002 the Dutch Guilder was the functional currency of the           
                  Company). The financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the dollar are                
                  translated into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement of Financial                     
                  Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the USA ("FASB").              
                  Assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies to dollars at year-end exchange rates.            
                  Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year.                                

                  Gains or losses resulting from translation are included as a separate component of other comprehensive            
                  income. Cumulative translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of shareholders'                 
                  equity, under "other comprehensive income (loss).                                                                 

                  Until December 31, 2001, the functional currency of ICTS and its subsidiaries was the local currency in           
                  which the entity operated. The financial statements of ICTS and its subsidiaries, in which the dollar             
                  is not their functional currency, were translated into dollars in accordance with the principles set              
                  forth in FAS 52.                                                                                                  

                  The Company accounts for the change of the functional currency prospectively as from    January 1, 2002.          

             b.   Principles of consolidation                                                                                       

                  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICTS and its over 50% controlled                    
                  subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Profits from               
                  intercompany transactions, not yet realized outside the Company, have also been eliminated. See also 1c.

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                                                   
                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):                                                                               

             c.   Cash equivalents                                                                                                  

                  The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to                
                  three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash                    
                  equivalents.                                                                                                      

             d.   Marketable securities and other investments:                                                                      

                  1)   Marketable securities                                                                                        

                       Marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, are stated at market           
                       value.  The difference between the market value of those securities and their cost is recorded as            
                       a separate component of other comprehensive income or loss as appropriate.                                   

                       Any decline in the fair market value of the securities that is not of a temporary nature is                  
                       included in the statement of operations as a realized loss. See note 6b.                                     

                  2)   Other investments                                                                                            

                       Investments in less than 20%-owned, privately-held companies in which the Company does not have              
                       the ability to exercise significant influence are stated at cost.  The Company's management                  
                       evaluates its investments from time to time and, if necessary, recognizes losses for other than              
                       temporary declines in the value of these investments.                                                        

             e.   Investments in associated companies                                                                               

                  Investments in companies in which the Company holds a 20% interest or more or in which it has the                 
                  ability to exercise significant influence, provided it does not have control, are accounted for by the            
                  equity method (see also q. below).                                                                                

             f.   Property and equipment                                                                                            

                  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the                   
                  straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life used in              
                  determining depreciation and amortization is as follows:                                                          

                                                                              Years

                  Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the period of the lease or the              
                  estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter (3-5 years).

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):                                                                               

             g.   Goodwill                                                                                                          

                  On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". FAS 142              
                  supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 17, "Intangible Assets". The most                      
                  significant changes made by FAS 142 include: (1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives             
                  will no longer be amortized; and (2) goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life             
                  will be tested for impairment at least annually.                                                                  

                  Prior to January 1, 2002 goodwill was amortized by the straight-line method over the period of 20 years.          

                  The Company identified its various reporting units, which consist of its operating segments.                      
                  The Company has utilized expected future discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the                 
                  reporting units and whether any impairment of goodwill existed as of the date of adoption.                        

                  As a result of the transitional impairment test, the Company does not have to record a cumulative                 
                  effect of an accounting change for the estimated impairment of goodwill.  The Company has selected                
                  December 31 of each year as the date on which it will perform its annual goodwill impairment test. No             
                  impairment resulted from the annual review performed in December 31, 2002.                                        

                  In addition to the annual impairment test and as a result of the imposed transfer of the aviation                 
                  security operations to the TSA in November 2002 (see note 1b), the Company performed interim impairment           
                  tests, based on expected cash flows from the TSA Contract, on the goodwill relating to its U.S.A                  
                  reporting unit. The interim impairment test performed as of September 30, 2002 resulted in an                     
                  impairment and the company wrote off the balance of this goodwill in the amount of $8,484.

                  This item includes mainly technology, which is being amortized over 3 years. The technology is                    
                  presented net of write down in value, see note 9.                                                                 

i.       Impairment in value of long-lived assets                                                                                   

                  The Company has adopted FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets",                
                  effective January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets, held and used by an entity be                 
                  reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount             
                  of the assets may not be recoverable. Under FAS 144, if the sum of the expected future cash flows                 
                  (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount             
                  of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets would be written down to their             
                  estimated fair values.                                                                                            

                  The adoption of FAS 144 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial position of the            
                  Company.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):                                                                               

             j.   Treasury stock                                                                                                    

                  The treasury stock was acquired by the Company for issuance upon the exercise of options issued under             
                  the employee option plan. The treasury stock are presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity, at             
                  its cost. Gains on the sale of these shares, net of losses and of the related tax, are recorded under             
                  "other capital surplus".

                  Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's customers, which are performed based            
                  on terms contained in a contractual arrangement, provided the fee is fixed and determinable, the                  
                  services have been rendered, and collection of the related receivable is probable.                                

                  Revenue from leased equipment is recognized ratably over the year.                                                

             l.   Earnings per share ("EPS"):                                                                                       

                  1)   Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common              
                       stock outstanding during each year, net of treasury stock.                                                   

                  2)   Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares                      
                       outstanding during the year, net of treasury stock, taking into account the potential dilution               
                       that could occur upon the exercise of options granted under stock options plan, using the treasury           
                       stock  method.                                                                                               

             m.   Deferred income taxes                                                                                             

                  Deferred income taxes are created for temporary differences between the assets and liabilities as                 
                  measured in the financial statements and for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the                  
                  enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse.  Measurement of deferred tax           
                  liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the tax laws, and deferred tax assets are reduced, if            
                  necessary, by the amount of tax benefits the realization of which is not considered likely, based on              
                  available evidence.                                                                                               

                  Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current, based on the                        
                  classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or according to the            
                  expected reversal date of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability             
                  for financial reporting purposes.                                                                                 

                  Deferred taxes in respect of disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies have not            
                  been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, since, under the laws of the Netherlands, such           
                  disposal of investments is tax exempt.

                  The Company and its subsidiaries operate mostly in the aviation industry. The Company renders services            
                  to a large number of airline companies to which it provides credit, with no collateral. Due to the                
                  slow-down in the aviation industry, some airline companies may have difficulties in meeting their                 
                  financial obligations. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company           
                  and its subsidiaries regularly review the credit worthiness of their customers and determine the credit           
                  line, if any.                                                                                                     
                  The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined for specific debts doubtful of collection. The  bad             
                  debts expenses were $5,297, $684 and $362 ,in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.                                   

o.       Stock based compensation:                                                                                                  

                  1)   Employee stock based compensation                                                                            
                       The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with Accounting                     
                       Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related            
                       interpretations. Under APB 25 compensation cost for employee stock option plans is measured using            
                       the intrinsic value based method of accounting, and is amortized by the straight-line method                 
                       against income, over the expected service period.                                                            

                       FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", establishes a fair value based method of                 
                       accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments, and encourages adoption of              
                       such method for stock compensation plans. However, it also allows companies to continue accounting           
                       for those plans according to the accounting treatment prescribed by APB 25.                                  

                       The Company has elected to continue accounting for employee stock option plans under APB 25, and             
                       has accordingly complied with the disclosure requirements set forth in FAS 123 and amended by FAS            
                       148 for companies electing to apply APB 25.

             q.   First time application of the equity method in respect of an investment previously accounted for under            
                  FAS 115                                                                                                           

                  Through December 31, 2001, the Company invested in Pioneer Commercial Funding Corp. ("Pioneer") $822              
                  in shares and $1,000 in non tradable debentures of Pioneer, which conferred ICTS approximately 5.4 %              
                  of Pioneer's outstanding shares. During 2002, the Company invested additional $732 in Pioneer's shares            
                  (8.8%); Consequently, as of December 31, 2002, the Company holds 14.2%of the outstanding shares of                
                  Pioneer. Through February 2003, Pioneer was a publicly held company, the securities of which were                 
                  traded on the NASD Electronic over the Counter Bulletin Board (see also note 5(a)1)).  The parent                 
                  company of ICTS also owns shares in Pioneer.                                                                      
                  The Company previously accounted for this investment in accordance with FAS 115. In 2002, following               
                  its additional investment in Pioneer, ICTS has determined that it had obtained significant influence,             
                  and therefore changed its method of accounting for this investment to the equity method in accordance             
                  with APB 18 ("The equity method of accounting for investments in common stock").                                  

                  The consolidated financial statements for the years 2001 and 2000 have been adjusted retroactively to             
                  reflect the adoption of the equity method.                                                                        

                  As of December 31, 2002, after retroactive application of the equity method, balance of the investment            
                  in Pioneer stands at $1,496.

             r.   Recently issued accounting pronouncements:                                                                        

                  1)   In July 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". FAS 143            
                       prescribes the accounting for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets,             
                       including the timing of liability recognition and initial measurement of the liability. FAS 143              
                       requires that an asset retirement cost be capitalized as part of the cost of the related                     
                       long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. FAS           
                       143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 (January 1, 2003 for the Company).           

                       The Company does not expect the adoption of the above-mentioned standard to have a material effect           
                       on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):                                                                               

                  2)   In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145, "Revision of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64,                  
                       Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Connections" ("FAS 145").  Among other                     
                       amendments and rescissions, FAS 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the                
                       extinguishments of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net             
                       of the related income tax effect, unless such gains and losses meet the criteria in paragraph 20             
                       of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operation - Reporting the            
                       Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently                  
                       Occurring Events and Transactions.  FAS 145 is partially effective for transactions occurring                
                       after May 15, 2002 and partially effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.                    

                       The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its                   
                       consolidated financial statements.                                                                           

                  3)   In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal             
                       activities" ("FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated           
                       with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain                  
                       Employee Termination Benefits and other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs                   
                       Incurred in a Restructuring)". FAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an               
                       exit or disposal activity to be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a                
                       liability for an exit cost, as generally defined in EITF 94-3, was recognized at the date of the             
                       commitment to an exit plan. FAS 146 states that a.commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create           
                       an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, FAS 146 eliminates the                    
                       definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. It also establishes that             
                       fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. FAS 146 is to be applied               
                       prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.                              

                       The Company does not expect the adoption of the abovementioned standard to have a material effect            
                       on its consolidated financial statements                                                                     

                  4)   In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -                    
                       Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". FAS No. 148 amends FAS No.              
                       123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based             
                       method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS No. 148 amends the              
                       disclosure requirements of FAS No.123 to require prominent disclosures in the financial                      
                       statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of            
                       the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of             
                       FAS No.148 are effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years ending after                   
                       December 15, 2002.                                                                                           

                       The Company has elected to continue accounting for employee stock based compensation in accordance           
                       with APB 25 and related interpretations and has applied the disclosure provisions in FAS 148 in              
                       these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):                                                                               

                  5)   In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting and                     
                       Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others"             
                       ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a                   
                       liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. It also                  
                       elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its                
                       obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and to be made in regard of product                  
                       warranties. Disclosures required under FIN 45 are already included in these financial statements,            
                       however, the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this FIN are applicable on            
                       a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.                                

                       At this stage, the Company is examining the effect of FIN 45 on its consolidated financial                   
                       statements.                                                                                                  

                  6)   In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest              
                       Entities" (FIN 46). Under this FIN, entities are separated into two populations: (1) those for               
                       which voting interests are used to determine consolidation (this is the most common situation) and           
                       (2) those for which variable interests are used to determine consolidation. The FIN explains how             
                       to identify Variable Interest Entities (VIE) and how to determine when a business enterprise                 
                       should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of activities of a            
                       VIE in its consolidated financial statements. The FIN is effective as follows: for variable

                     as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.                                                                 

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS REGARDING CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES:                                                                               

             a.   In September 2002, ICTS increased its percentage interest in Procheck International B.V. ("PI") to 100%           
                  for a cash consideration of $ 2,845.  PI provides security services in The Netherlands at Schiphol                
                  Airport Amsterdam. The purchase price exceeded the acquired share of the fair market value of the                 
                  identified  net assets of PI by approximately $1,879, which was allocated to the contract with                    
                  Schiphol Airport. This intangible asset is amortized by the straight line method, over its estimated              
                  useful life, which is estimated as 10 years. PI is fully consolidated as from September 30, 2002, see             
                  also note 5a2).                                                                                                   

b.       In July 2002, ICTS increased its percentage interest in Demco Consultants Ltd. (Demco) from 37% to 67% for                 
                 cash consideration of $410. The purchase price exceeded the fair market value of the tangible net assets           
                 of Demco by approximately $52, which was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill is attributed to "other               
                 operations segment". Demco is consolidated as from July 1, 2002.                                                   

                  As part of the above transaction, ICTS has been granted a 13 month option commencing July 1, 2003 to              
                  purchase the remaining 33% equity from the minority shareholders in Demco for $589, and the Company has           
                  granted to the minority shareholders an option to sell  the same equity to the company for $533. As a             
                  result, the Company had fully consolidated Demco and recorded a liability to the minority in the amount           
                  of $589.

e.       In April 2001, ICTS entered into an agreement with the minority shareholders of AMS Ltd. ("AMS"), for the                  
                 exchange of its shareholding in AMS (51%) , for shares held by AMS, which primarily included its 33%               
                 shareholding in APS B.V. . The exchange was recorded at fair value and as a result, ICTS recognized                
                 capital gain of $980. In November 2001, ICTS sold its acquired interests in APS (as above) to PI for a             
                 cash consideration of $2,000. As a result of this transaction ICTS recognized a capital gain of $237               
                 (representing the part of the gain realized from the sale to the minority of PI).

                 stock of Huntleigh USA Corporation ("Huntleigh"), a company based in St. Louis, Missouri, for $1,900.              
                 The purchase price exceeded the fair market value of the acquired share in the identified net assets of            
                 Huntleigh by approximately $2,229, which was allocated to goodwill.                                                
                  As to the changes relating to Huntleigh operations as a result of the events of September 11, and the

                  included among the operating expenses for 2000.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES (continued):                                                                           

                    (a) In March 1998, ICTS acquired 5.4% interest in Pioneer from Leedan International Holding B.V, a              
                       subsidiary of Leedan Business Enterprise Ltd (hereafter - "Leedan" - a company  controlled by the            
                       Company's controlling shareholders) for $750, representing the market value on that date. Since              
                       the transaction was between companies under common control the excess of cost of investment over             
                       the carrying value in Leedan books in of $353 was setoff against retained earnings.                          
                       In addition, on February 12, 2002, and on October 23, 2002, the Company acquired in private                  
                       placement offerings additional 260,000 shares (representing 6.3% shareholding) at $2.00 per share,           
                       and additional 235,300 shares (representing 2.5% shareholding) at $0.90 per share, respectively.             
                       After the transaction the Company holds approximately 14.2% of the outstanding shares of Pioneer.            
                       The excess of costs of these investments over the  acquired share in Pioneer's tangible assets of            
                       $766 was attributed to goodwill.                                                                             

                       In addition, Pioneer granted to the Company a 5 year warrant (commencing February 2002) to                   
                       purchase 13,000 shares at a price of $2.25 per share and a 3 year warrant (commencing January                
                       2003) to purchase 5,883 shares at a price of $1.00 per share .                                               

                       Effective February 20, 2003, Pioneer is no longer listed on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board               
                       stock market and is no longer a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.                 

                    (b) In January 2000, ICTS acquired a $1,000 non-marketable debenture of Pioneer, bearing interest at            
                       the rate of 10% per annum. The debenture is due in November 2004, and its repayment is guaranteed            
                       by Leedan.                                                                                                   

                        (2)         Until September 30, 2002, although the Company held 65% interest in PI, the                     
                       investment was accounted for by the equity method, since PI was jointly controlled and none of the           
                       shareholders held exclusive control. On September 30, 2002 ICTS purchased the remaining 35%                  
                       interests; Consequently, PI is fully consolidated as of that date.                                           

              (3)      Ramasso Holdings B.V. ("Ramasso") together with ITA (see (4) hereafter) are engaged in                       
                       construction of Entertainment project in Rome. The investment is comprised of investment in 40% of           
                       the outstanding shares of Ramasso and a loan (see below).                                                    
                       The shares in Ramasso were acquired in July 2000 for $16.  Since the purchase was from the                   
                       shareholders of ICTS, it was presented at book value at seller's accounts. The excess of cost                
                       over the book value of the equity acquired in an amount of $164 was set-off against retained                 
                       earnings. The remaining 60% shareholding of Ramasso are held by ITA (40%) and other affiliates.              
                       The loan, in an original amount of $2,464 and $867, at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,             
                       bears annual interest of 4.25%, and has no fixed repayment date.  Through December 31, 2002, ICTS

                       (a)  In October 2001, the Company was granted a warrant to purchase an additional 12% of ITA                 
                            shares, exercisable over a period of three years, at an exercise price that shall be                    
                            determined according to an evaluation of ITA to be made by an independent consultant.  As a             
                            result, ICTS has determined that it obtained significant influence in ITA and therefore,                
                            accounted for its investment by the equity method.                                                      

                       (b)  The loan bears annual interest of Libor +3% (as of December 31, 2002-4.875%) and is                     
                            repayable in November 2004.                                                                             

             (5)  In September 2002, ICTS and ICTS Europe established a joint venture, ICTS NAS ("NAS'), owned equally by           
                  the parties, which provides security services at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Holland. NAS                  
                  commenced operations in December 2002.                                                                            

             (6)  During the period from April to September 2002, ICTS purchased 4,106,895 shares, which present 34.3% of           
                  Inksure Technologies Inc. ("Inksure') for a consideration of $5,986. The purchase price exceeded the              
                  fair market value of the tangible net assets of Inksure by approximately $3,881, of which $660 was

                  (losses) of associated companies, net"). And the remaining $3,221 was attributed to technology                    
                  purchased and is to be amortized using the straight-line method over 7 years.                                     
                  As a result of a reverse merger with a nonoperating public shell corporation, performed by Inksure in             
                  October 2002, the company became the shareholder of the merged quoted company (which changed its name             
                  to Inksure Technologies Inc. The market value of the shares  (34.3%) as of December 31, 2002 was

d.       In June 2002 equipment in the amount of $23.5 million was purchased and leased back to the seller, a private               
                 Dutch company, for 7 years in an operating lease agreement (with respect to equipment in the amount of             
                 $12.5 million, the company entered into a purchase and lease agreement that replaced a predecessor                 
                 acquirer, see below). Annual rental fees amounted to $ 2.6 million. The seller has the option to buy               
                 back the assets after 5 or 7 years, at the fair value, which will be determined by an appraiser. In case           
                 the seller does not exercise its option to purchase the assets upon termination of the lease, ICTS was             
                 granted a license to manufacture by the above assets and to use the intellectual property and technical            
                 information in which case it will have to pay royalties up to 5% of the revenues derived from those                
                 assets to the seller. The term of the license will be equal to the remaining economic life of the                  
                 assets. The company has undertaken to repay the predecessor acquirer's liability to a bank, in an amount           
                 of $8.7 million, and issued him a promissory note. As to the balance and terms of the note - see note              
                 12b.

                 entertainment projects in Maryland, Baltimore and in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The                                
                 Construction is supervised and managed by ITA, see also note 19h. These projects are                               
                 still under construction and therefore were not depreciated in 2002.

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                                                   
                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 13 - ACCRUED SEVERANCE PAY                                                                                                     

              The Company provides for severance pay liability pursuant to either law or custom. The liability is based             
              upon the length of service and the latest monthly salary (one month salary for each year worked). The                 
              liability is partly funded with insurance companies pursuant to which the Company makes monthly payments.             
              The Company records the long-term obligation as if it was payable at each balance sheet date on an                    
              undiscounted basis.                                                                                                   

              The net amount of severance pay charged to income in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were            
              approximately $19 million, $0.1 and $0.2 respectively.                                                                

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:                                                                                   

a.       Operating leases                                                                                                           

                  The Company leases premises under long-term operating leases, in most cases with renewal options. Lease           
                  expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $928, $1,739 and $1,177,                       
                  respectively.                                                                                                     

                  Future minimum lease payments under long-term leases are as follows:

                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):                                                                       

              b.  Operations in the U.S.:                                                                                           

                  1)   As a result of the September 11 terrorists attacks, numerous lawsuits have commenced against the             
                       Company. Huntleigh has been named in 27 lawsuits and ICTS in 25 lawsuits. All of the cases were              
                       filed in the United States Districts Court, Southern District of New York. The cases are in their            
                       early stages. The Company reviewed its security services provided at Boston's Logan International            
                       Airport, from which one of the airplanes commandeered by the terrorists departed, subsequent to              
                       September 11, 2001 for evidence of non-compliance with the policies of the Federal Aviation                  
                       Administration. Based on the contracts with the airlines, the Company may be indemnified by the              
                       airlines if the Company is found to have followed the procedures enumerated by the Federal                   
                       Aviation Administration. However, if the Company is found to have violated these screening                   
                       regulations, it could be liable for damages. Based on the Company's review, no evidence of                   
                       non-compliance has been identified with respect to the services provided at Boston's Logan                   
                       International Airport on September 11, 2001. The Company maintains an aviation insurance policy,             
                       which may provide limited coverage for liabilities that may be assessed against the Company as a             
                       result of the events of September 11, 2001.                                                                  
                       Management is unable to estimate the impact of the litigation or fines, as described above.                  
                       Accordingly, no provision in respect of these matters has been made.                                         

2)       As a provider of security services, the Company faces potential liability claims in the event of any successful            
                      terrorist attempt in circumstances associated with the Company. After the September 11th terrorist            
                      attacks, the Company's insurance carriers canceled all war risk insurance policies the Company                
                      carried.                                                                                                      

3)       On February 17, 2002, the Company was awarded a security services contract (the "TSA Contract") by the TSA to              
                      continue to provide security services in all of its current airport locations until the earlier of            
                      either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport basis to the              
                      U.S. Federal Government or November 19, 2002.  In accordance with the terms of the Contract, the              
                      U.S. Federal Government provided the Company with a non-interest bearing partial payment of $26               
                      million to be paid back on a monthly basis of $1.3 million at the beginning of every month                    
                      commencing April 1, 2002. At December 31, 2002, $11.7 million of the $26 million had been paid                
                      back to the TSA. As of December 31, 2002 the amount due from the TSA in respect of services                   
                      provided aggregates $17.2 million; this amount , net of $14.3 million-the balance of the                      
                      prepayment, is presented among trade receivable. The TSA in accordance with standard practices is             
                      in the process of auditing ICTS's billings to the TSA pursuant to the TSA Contract  for the                   
                      provision of aviation security services. This process requires the Company to provide pricing data            
                      to the U.S. Federal government to support its pricing structure under the TSA Contract and                    
                      eventually will result in final negotiations on the price of the Company's services from February             
                      17, 2002 through the end of the Contract term.

                                                 ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V.                                                            
                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                                                   
                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):                                                                       

                  As a result of the TSA audit, on June 9, 2003 the Company received a preliminary settlement notice from           
                  the TSA claiming that certain costs and allocations, are not contract incurred costs; this claim is               
                  based on TSA's view that the definitization process should be on a "cost plus basis". The Company                 
                  declines the TSA's claims and has taken the position that the TSA has no merit and that the contract is           
                  based on fixed price rate per hour. Management believes it has meritorious defenses against the claim             
                  of the TSA. The Company is also claiming additional amounts aggregating approximately $30 million for             
                  corporate bonus and notice not being given on time, as specified in the contract. The TSA claims, if              
                  recognized, can have an adverse effect on the Company's results, of approximately $30 million.                    
                  Management and its legal counsel are unable to estimate at this stage the final outcome of the above              
                  mentioned dispute. Accordingly, no provision in respect of this matter has been made.                             

 c.      Restrictions on operations                                                                                                 

                  As part of the sale of its European operations, the Company is restricted from conducting in Europe               
                  (except for The Netherlands and the former Soviet Union republics, including Russia, Georgia and                  
                  Kazakhstan) any of the activities in which ICTS Europe was engaged prior to such sale.  This                      
                  restriction is effective through February 2005.                                                                   

                  Pursuant to an agreement dated July 1, 1995 with ICTS Global Security (1995) Ltd. ("ICTS Global                   
                  Security"), the Company may not provide non-aviation security services in Latin America, Turkey or the            
                  former Soviet Union republics, including Russia, Georgia and Kazakhstan.                                          

             d.   Following the sale of the European operations, ICTS has undertaken to indemnify ICTS Europe and its               
                  subsidiaries in respect of any liability or loss originated prior to December 31, 2001 and  not known             
                  at that date.  As of December 31, 2002, management has not received any notification for any liability            
                  or this loss.                                                                                                     

             e.   On December 28, 1995, the Company entered into an employment contract with Lior Zouker, its Chief                 
                  Executive Officer and a member of its board of directors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to                 
                  employ Mr. Zouker in those capacities for a 30 month term.  The contract was extended for an additional

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):                                                                       

              f.  On June 15, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Ezra Harel, providing for the                    
                  following arrangement: (i) Mr. Harel for his services to the Company, receives  compensation of $120 on           
                  an annual basis; and (ii) a special annual bonus of 5% of the Company's (a) capital gains, net of                 
                  capital losses, net of taxes, derived from extraordinary capital transactions (defined as any                     
                  transactions consummated by the Company which are not in the Company's ordinary course of business                
                  which generate capital gains or capital losses to the Company), and (b) realized gains, net of realized           
                  losses (other than interest income and expenses and/or exchange rate differentials), net of taxes,                
                  derived from either transactions in traded securities and/or other extraordinary financial                        
                  transactions, if any, as reflected in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements.             
                  In November 2002, the board of directors approved an increase of the annual salary to $245 and a final            
                  bonus for 2002 will be equal to 5% of the net after tax profits of the Company (approximately $3.5                
                  million).                                                                                                         

              g.  In 2002 the Company, and one of its subsidiaries, entered into a consultancy services agreement with a            
                  company, owned by a former member of the Supervisory Board of the Company.  The agreement provides for            
                  annual fees of $243 for a period of 24 months and shall be automatically renewed for additional period            
                  of 12 months each.                                                                                                

              h.  As mentioned in note 6(e), ICTS has guaranteed $ 2,447 of the obligations of Bilu Investments Ltd., of            
                  which $ 1,400 is on behalf of Leedan and Rogosin. The guarantees of behalf of Leedan and Rogosin                  
                  expired in August 2003.                                                                                           

              i.  As to commitments with respect to ITA, see note 19.                                                               

              j.  Huntleigh was served two grand jury subpoenas to produce documents relating to its operation in the               
                  Philadelphia airport.  The records include:                                                                       

                  (1)  Personnel records of all present and former employees who performed services for Huntleigh at the            
                       Philadelphia airport.                                                                                        
                  (2)  Records regarding the training and background checks of such employees.                                      
                  (3)  Personnel records relating to Huntleigh employees who directly supervised the Philadelphia                   
                       employees.                                                                                                   
                  (4)  Other related documents.                                                                                     

                  Prior to the subpoenas, the FAA seized personnel documents of Huntleigh Philadelphia employees without            
                  a subpoena.  In May, 1999, Huntleigh submitted documents in response to the second subpoena.                      
                  Huntleigh's attorneys were informed by the U.S. Attorney that six of its Philadelphia employees would             
                  be subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury, To the best of Huntleigh's knowledge, no further action           
                  has been taken by the grand jury.

                  In addition, Huntleigh is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings covering a              
                  wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. These claims are primarily related           
                  to grievances filed by current and former employees for unfair labor practices or discrimination. In              
                  the opinion of management, such claims, if disposed of unfavorably, would not have a material adverse             
                  effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.                                  
                  The Company made a provision for losses in respect of such claims, that in the opinion of the Company's           
                  management and legal counsel, is reasonable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------          
              *   In January 2000, ICTS exercised its option to purchase a 51% interest in John Bryce Systems ("JBS") for           
                  approximately $2,700. ICTS subsequently sold all of its shares in JBS to Mentergy Ltd. ("Mentergy") in            
                  exchange for 388,189 registered common shares of Mentergy.  As a result of this transaction, ICTS                 
                  recorded income of  $6,827 in 2000.                                                                               

                  In addition, ICTS entered into certain agreements with other shareholders of JBS who exchanged                    
                  their shares for shares of Mentergy, pursuant to which ICTS acquired 14,647 additional shares in                  
                  Mentergy from them and obtained an option to purchase 113,796 shares of Mentergy. The option                      
                  expired on December 31, 2001.                                                                                     

                  Due to a permanent decrease in the value of Mentergy's shares, ICTS recognized losses of $7,627                   
                  in 2000. The Company recognized a loss of $780 as a result of the sale of the Company's remaining                 
                  shares in Mentergy in 2001.                                                                                       

              **  In 2000 and 2001, ICTS wrote off the loan to a former shareholder in JBS, since the former shareholder            
                  pledged his shares in Mentergy to secure non-recourse loan received from ICTS.

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                                                   
                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 17- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT:                                                                                 

             a.   Fair market value of financial instruments                                                                        

                  Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and                 
                  maturities, the fair market value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt approximates the                 
                  carrying value.  Furthermore, the carrying value of other financial instruments potentially subject to            
                  valuation risk (principally consisting of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and marketable                 
                  securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable) also approximates fair market value. Certain                
                  financial instruments, included in other investments (including inter alia the investment in Bilu,                
                  which was acquired from related party), do not have quoted market prices and, accordingly, a reasonable           
                  estimate of fair market value could not be made without incurring excessive costs.                                

             b.   Risk management:                                                                                                  

                  1)   The Company operates in the USA, Europe and other countries, which gives rise to exposure to                 
                       market risks in respect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company did not utilize                   
                       derivative financial instruments to reduce these risks. Since January 1, 2002, the functional                
                       currency is the dollar and the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is reduced.                         

                       Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be incurred if any party failed to perform             
                       according to the terms of the financial instrument.  Credit risk may arise from financial                    
                       instruments that have a significant exposure to individual debtors or groups of debtors, or when             
                       they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual                
                       obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions.                            

                  2)   At December 31, 2002, four major customers accounted for 48% of accounts receivable (at                      
                       December 31, 2001, three major customers accounted for 40% of accounts receivable). For the years            
                       ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, sales to major customers (constituting 10% or more of the            
                       Company's consolidated revenues) amounted to 73%, 21% and 25% of revenues, respectively, as set              
                       forth below:                                                                                                 
                                                                             Year ended December 31,                                
                                                                          2002         2001        2000                             
                                                                          (% of consolidated revenues)

                       Customer B                                                      10%          10%

                                   (US $ in thousands, except share and per share data)                                             

NOTE 17 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued):                                                                    

                  3)   The Company's financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risks consist primarily of           
                       cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, short-term investments, (see note 3), and              
                       long-term receivables (see note 6). The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and time                
                       deposits with high quality credit institutions.  The Company provides normal trade credit, in the            
                       ordinary course of business, to its customers. Based on past experience and the identity of its              
                       current customers, the Company believes that its accounts receivable exposure is limited.                    

                  4)   The Company guarantees debts of third parties, as discussed in notes 6 and 12. Regarding these               
                       guarantees, the Company does not believe exposure to loss is likely.                                         

                  5)   The Company is currently engaged in direct operations in numerous countries and is therefore                 
                       subject to risks associated with international operations (including economic or political                   
                       instability and trade restrictions), any of which could have a significant negative impact on the            
                       Company's ability to deliver its services on a competitive and timely basis and on the results of            
                       the Company's operations. Although the Company has not encountered significant difficulties in               
                       connection with the sale or provision of its services in international markets, future imposition            
                       of, or significant increases in, the level of trade restrictions or economic or political                    
                       instability in the areas where the Company operates, could have an adverse effect on the Company.            
                       For example, the Company currently provides services at several airports in the former Soviet                
                       Union.  The Company's ability to continue operations in the former Soviet Union may be adversely             
                       affected by future changes in legislation or by changes in the political environment in the former           
                       Soviet Union.                                                                                                

F-40

                  Chief Executive Officer, for exercise price of $4.5 and $8.75 per share respectively. The exercise                
                  price reflected the share price at the grant dates.                                                               

             e.   In 2002, ICTS bought vested and non vested options from its employees and directors. The difference               
                  between the price paid and the exercise price for the options bought back, aggregating $1,618, was                
                  recorded as G&A.                                                                                                  

             f.   In 2000 and 2001 the Company invested $500 in Omnivee Inc.(one of its start up investments, see note              
                  6c). The CEO of Omnivee is the son-in-law of the CEO of ICTS.                                                     

             g.   On July 24, 2001, Noaz Management Company assigned to ICTS an investment of $400 (out of its total                
                  investment of $1 million) in Artlink, representing 4.1% of the class A preferred shares. A major                  
                  shareholder and member of the Supervisory Board of the Company is a major shareholder in Noaz                     
                  Management Company.                                                                                               

h.       As part of the investment in ITA (see note 5a4), ITA provides to the Company supervision and management                    
                 services on establishment of Entertainment project for a fee equal to 20% of the project costs. In                 
                 addition, the Company was granted the right of first refusal to establish its own ITA Entertainment                
                 project in Europe and in the USA. The Company also has an option to acquire from ITA 20% of ITA's stake            
                 in each project and ITA has the option to acquire from the Company 20% of its stake in each such project           
                 for a period of 2 years from the start of the project.

NOTE 21 - STOCK OPTIONS                                                                                                             

             In 1995 and 1999, ICTS adopted share option plans pursuant to which 600,000 common shares were reserved                
             under each plan for issuance upon the exercise of options to be granted to employees, consultants and                  
             members of the Supervisory Board of the Company.                                                                       

             As of December 31, 2002, ICTS has granted options to purchase 337,500 common shares, all of which have been            
             granted to directors, consultants and executive officers of the Company as a group, at exercise prices                 
             ranging from $4.50 to $10.75 per share under the Plan, which were the fair market value at the dates of                
             grant.  These options vest over various terms, ranging from immediately to five years.  Outstanding options            
             expire at various times, but not later than January 2007. In March 2003, 25,000 options granted to a                   
             consultant were cancelled.                                                                                             

             In 2002, ICTS bought vested and non vested options from its employees and directors. The difference between            
             the price paid and the exercise price for the options bought back, aggregating $1,618, was recorded as G&A.            

             The options granted under the Company's plans are exercisable for the purchase of shares as follows:                   
                                                                                                     December 31,

             ICTS accounts for the options granted to a director and other service providers in exchange for services               
             received using the fair market value based method of accounting, as prescribed by FAS 123, based on the fair
