israel - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Israel has a technologically
advanced market economy. It depends on imports of crude oil, grains, raw
materials, and military equipment. Cut diamonds, high-technology equipment, and
agricultural products (fruits and vegetables) are the leading exports. Israel
usually posts sizable trade deficits, which are covered by tourism and other
service exports, as well as significant foreign investment inflows. The global
financial crisis of 2008-09 spurred a brief recession in Israel, but the
country entered the crisis with solid fundamentals - following years of prudent
fiscal policy and a resilient banking sector. The economy has recovered better
than most advanced, comparably sized economies. In 2010, Israel formally
acceded to the OECD. Natural gasfields discovered off Israel's coast during the
past two years have brightened Israel's energy security outlook. The Leviathan
field was one of the world's largest offshore natural gas finds this past
decade. In mid-2011, public protests arose around income inequality and rising
housing and commodity prices. The government formed committees to address some
of the grievances but has maintained that it will not engage in deficit
spending to satisfy populist demands.

Important note:
Kindly note, that since it is a privately-owned company it does not publish its financial data. In fact, most privately- owned companies we are familiar with do not expose financial data, maximum general sales figures and perhaps inventory or property values. Few private companies disclose full B/S and financial statements (incl. profits, etc.). From our experience with the subject company, they do not reveal any financial details! So, please do not expect to get such data…. BTW, if you reveal the suppliers’, name (i.e. the source of the enquiry), that may assist in subject’s official will to share more, even financial, data (although there is no guarantee as well)….

Subject, as a generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, is involved in
intellectual property aspects, including by either staying off the market until
the patents expires, by trying to go around the still valid patents, or by
trying to invalidate the patent and launch a generic version as soon as legally
possible. These activities cause subject to be involved in several legal cases.
In May 2013 PFIZER filed a lawsuit against subject
in the Tel Aviv District Court for the sum of NIS 10 million, claiming that
subject is manufacturing an imitation preparation to 'Viagra' thus violating
its patent on the drug.
In November 2002, it was reported that the Tel Aviv District Court, at
GSK's (then SKB) request, issued a temporary injunction ordering subject to
stop marketing diabetic pharmaceuticals, which SKB claimed is a violation of
their patent. In May 2011 the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that subject did
violate GSK patent.
In May 2011, in a different legal matter regarding a claim by MERCK, the
Israeli Supreme Court ruled that subject (as well as other pharmaceutical
companies) may use a drug developed by another company if the legal patent
procedures have not yet been completed.
Apart from a/m cases, nothing unfavorable learned.
We are informed that subject's General Manager, the only authorized
person to disclose data on subject, is currently very busy, and were asked to
call again next week. Upon speaking to him we shall update you accordingly.

Gil Tomer are members of the Board of The Pharmaceutical Society of Israel (PSI).

In April 2010 the

antidepressant drug Cipralex's patent expired in Israel and subject may
manufacture a generic drug.
