ASBIS STRATEGY
The Group’s strategy is aimed at expanding business and boosting profitability, to be achieved by
enhancing the operating efficiency of computer component distribution and by increasing sales under
private labels. The Group intends to meet these objectives through:

increasing sales and market share in the EMEA region;

expanding into new emerging markets;

developing its private label business;

continuing to focus on leveraging its size and distribution capacity to secure better commercial
terms and to optimise its product mix; and

enhancing operating efficiency and automated processes, including its on-line sales channels.

Increasing sales and market share in the EMEA region
As confirmed by independent market reports produced by Gartner, computer penetration in the
markets in which the Group operates is still significantly lower than in more developed Western
European markets. As a result, demand for computer products in these markets is growing rapidly
and the Company expects it to continue to grow at a high rate in the foreseeable future. The Group will
continue to focus on increasing its revenue and market share in these growing markets and believes
that it is in an advantageous position to do so, due to its relationships with leading international
suppliers, extended distribution network and strong local presence.
Expansion into new emerging markets
In recent years, the Group has entered a number of new emerging IT markets in North Africa.
Although revenues derived from these markets still represent a relatively low share of the Group's total
revenues, this share is increasing, as these markets continue to grow and as the Group continues to
expand to other emerging and growing markets including in Africa and Central Asia (in particular
countries such as Libya, Kenya, as well as Moldova, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia). The Group
expects that its long experience of successfully competing in emerging, high-growth markets,
combined with the geographic proximity of its headquarters to these markets, will help it strengthen its
market position and increase its revenues.
Development of private label business
The Group's private label (branded) product lines, Canyon and Prestigio, are manufactured by leading
OEM producers in the Far East (i.e., Korea, Taiwan, and China), often based on designs developed by
the Group, selected on the basis of their quality and potential for achieving high profit margins in the
Group’s markets. The Group markets and sells these products under its own brands, successfully
competing with products of comparable quality marketed under international brands. The Group
believes that increasing sales of private label products as part of its total revenues will have a positive
impact on its overall profitability, as these products return a higher profit margin, compared to
international suppliers’ products distributed by the Group. As a result, the Group aims to continue
expanding the range of its private label products and strengthening their promotion in its markets.
Continuing to focus on leveraging its size and distribution capacity to achieve better
commercial terms and to optimize its product mix
The Group's local presence in a number of markets in which it operates and the size and breadth of its
operations, combined with its centralized procurement system for negotiating with suppliers, help
increase the Group's purchasing power and strengthen its ability to negotiate and achieve more
beneficial terms in its distribution agreements, including achieving agreements with respect to the
distribution of products offering higher profit margins.

Enhancing operating efficiency and automated processes, including its on-line sales channels
The Group continues to focus on improving operating efficiency and enhancing its automated
processes, with a view to reducing operating expenses and increasing its profit margins, mainly
through enhancing its own on-line, end-to-end supply chain management system, which operates over
its IT4Profit platform. This automated system covers a wide range of Group activities, from purchasing
processes with key suppliers, to intercompany transactions, order processing and business data
exchange with customers, as well as automated B2C (business-to-customer) connection with e-shops
of resellers. Approximately half of the Group's revenues were derived from on-line transactions with
customers in 2006, and the Group aims to increase this percentage.

(approximately U.S1. $29.6 million). The net proceeds from the sale of the New Shares, after paying
