(Reference: Your letter of July 1, 2009)

 

1.           The facts as they have been delivered to us by you:

Baby’s Breath Co. Ltd., Private Co. 51-3076943 (hereinafter: “ the Company ”) is a private company, domiciled in Israel, and established on February 5, 2001. The Company develops and markets medical devices. The Company has developed an innovative device to treat breathing problems in infants and children, and it holds the sole intellectual property rights to this device.

 

 

1.2

The registered share capital of the Company comprises 1,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of NIS 1 each, of which 32,388 shares have been allocated. 1

 

1.3           Several shareholders hold shares in the Company, as follows:

 

1.3.1           10 residents of Israel hold 97.31% of Company shares

Detailed information of Company shareholders, accurate to the date of the provision of this taxation decision, is attached hereto as Appendix B to this taxation decision.

 

Outline of Change in Structure

 

 

1.4

Capital funds in the U.S. propose to invest in Company shares a sum that will grant them holdings of 20% of the Company’s share capital, provided that the investment thereof shall be in a company domiciled in the United States and registered for trade on the U.S. stock exchange (OTCBB). At this point, preliminary authorization shall be attained with an undertaking to invest the comprehensive sum of USD 3.55 million.

 

 

 


 

 

Accordingly, Company shareholders shall transfer the entirety of shares in the Company (hereinafter: “ the Transferred Shares ”) to the New Air Co. Inc., a private company domiciled in the United States, set up on July 10, 2009, especially for this purpose (hereinafter: “ the Foreign Company ”). In return, Company shareholders shall be allocated shares solely in the foreign company (hereinafter: “ the Allocated Shares ”), in accordance with section 104 B (a) of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) 5721-1961 (hereinafter: “ the Share Transfer ”). Therefore, following the share transfer, the foreign company shall hold the fully paid share capital of the Company and the shareholders in the Company shall hold in full the paid share capital of the foreign company.

In accordance with your declaration, part of the foreign company shares shall be registered for trade on the U.S. stock exchange (OTCBB). The initial draft of the prospectus shall be submitted to the U.S. Securities Exchange following on and proximate to the share transfer.

It should be noted that on December 29, 2004, the Company was given a letter of authorization for an alternate track (development area A), however the Company failed to meet the conditions of the letter of authorization. Accordingly, the Company was not entitled to any tax benefits whatsoever by virtue of the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law.

In accordance with your declaration, up to the date of the share transfer no loss in Company shares transferred to the foreign company is latent.

I hereby authorize that the foreign company shall be deemed a “company,” as defined in section 104 of the Ordinance, for the purpose of the share transfer, in accordance with the provisions of section 104B of the Ordinance, and subject to the conditions specified herein in this taxation decision.

 

 

3.4

I hereby authorize that the date of the share transfer shall be the date whereon the transferred shares are actually transferred (hereinafter: “ the Date of the Share Transfer ”).
