RESULTS-6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
I report that the Group made a loss, both before and after tax, for the six
months ended 30 June 2003 of $152,000 (2002 loss $114,000) on a turnover of
$634,000 (2002 $654,000). No dividend is proposed for the period (2002 Nil).
REVIEW OF THE PERIOD
Trading in Israel continued to be affected by the political situation, and the
consequent deep recession in the country. The fact that turnover remained almost
static compared to the comparative period last year was an achievement. The
expenditure of substantial sums on both Research and Development on the new
Select 100 and marketing in Europe (all written off to Profit and Loss account)
has substantially increased the net loss. The benefit of this expenditure should
be reflected in the results for 2004.
SHARE PLACING
We announced earlier this month a successful Placing of 7,500,000 shares at a
price of 3p to raise the sum of #225,000. An EGM to approve the Placing and an
increase in capital will be held on September 25.
EXPANSION INTO EUROPE
Our European representatives have started to market the new Select 100 in
Europe, and the results so far are encouraging. The expectation is that, in the
coming months, distributors will be appointed in a number of countries in
Europe, and sales should commence at the end of 2003 or in early 2004.
FUTURE
This is an exciting time in the history of Selector, and I look forward to
reporting further progress.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report at 30 June 2003
1. PUBLICATION OF NON-STATUTORY ACCOUNTS
These interim financial statements have been prepared as at 30 June 2003 and
for the six months then ended.
These statements should be reviewed together with the company's annual
financial statements as at 31 December 2002 (hereafter-"the annual
statements") and for the year then ended and the related notes. The
financial information for the full proceeding year is based on the statutory
accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2002, upon which the
auditors issued an unqualified opinion.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the
accounting policies set out in the Group's statutory accounts for the year
ended 31 December 2002. Fixed annual charges are apportioned to the interim
period on the basis of time elapsed. Other expenses are accrued in
accordance with the same principles used in the preparation of the annual
accounts.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the half year to 30 June 2003 have been calculated on
the net loss (2002-loss) after taxation and on 27,050,149(2002-19,517,640)
ordinary shares, being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in
issue throughout the period.
4. COPIES OF ACCOUNTS
A copy of the Interim Report and the Financial Statement will be posted to all
shareholders. Copies will also be available at the offices of the Company's
Nominated Advisors, Brewin Dolphin Securities Ltd., 48 Vincent Street, Glasgow
G2 5TS and at the Company's Registered Office, 27 Amal Street, Petach Tikvah,
