Words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "seek," "will," "plan," "could," "may," "project," "goal," "target" and similar expressions often identify forward-looking statements but are not the only way we identify these statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release regarding our future performance (including our outlook and guidance for 2007), plans to increase revenues or margins or preserve or expand market share in existing or new markets, reduce expenses and any statements regarding other future events or our future prospects, are forward-looking statements.

Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the results currently expected. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

* the effects of the high degree of regulation in the telecommunications market in which we operate;

* regulatory developments related to the implementation of number portability;

* regulatory developments relating to tariffs, including interconnect tariffs, roaming charges, and SMS tariffs;

* the difficulties associated with obtaining all permits required for building and operating of antenna sites;

* the requirement to indemnify planning committees in respect of claims made against them relating to the depreciation of property values or to alleged health damage resulting from antenna sites;

* the effects of vigorous competition in the market in which we operate and for more valuable customers, which may decrease prices charged, increase churn and change our customer mix, profitability and average revenue per user, and the response of competitors to industry and regulatory developments;

* regulatory developments which permit the Ministry of Communications to require us to offer our network infrastructure to other operators, which may lower the entry barrier for new competitors;

* uncertainties about the degree of growth in the number of consumers in Israel using wireless personal communications services and the growth in the Israeli population;

* the risks associated with the implementation of a third generation (3G) network and business strategy, including risks relating to the operations of new systems and technologies, potential unanticipated costs,

* uncertainties regarding the adequacy of suppliers on whom we must rely to provide both network and consumer equipment and consumer acceptance of the products and services to be offered, and the risk that the use of internet search engines by our 3G customers will be restricted;

* the results of litigation filed or that may be filed against us;

* the risk that, following a possible rearrangement of spectrum, we may lose some of our frequencies or we may be allocated spectrum of inferior quality;

* the risks associated with technological requirements, technology substitution and changes and other technological developments;

* alleged health risks related to antenna sites and use of telecommunication devices;

* the impact of existing and new competitors in the market in which we compete, including competitors that may offer less expensive products and services, desirable or innovative products, technological substitutes, or have extensive resources or better financing;

* fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;

* the possibility of the market in which we compete being impacted by changes in political, economic or other factors, such as monetary policy, legal and regulatory changes or other external factors over which we have no control; and

* the availability and cost of capital and the consequences of increased leverage.
