ELBIT SYSTEMS REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

Backlog of orders increased to $5.65 billion;
Revenues at $692 million; Net income at $38.9 million;
Diluted net earnings per share at $0.90

Haifa, Israel, August 16, 2011 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT), the international defense electronics company, today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

In this release, the Company is providing its US-GAAP ("GAAP") results as well as additional non-GAAP financial data, which are intended to provide investors a more comprehensive understanding of the Company's business results and trends. Unless otherwise stated, all financial data presented is GAAP financial data.

Management Comment:

Joseph Ackerman, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented: "We are encouraged by the continued growth in our backlog over the past five quarters, which is further highlighted by the Company's growth in revenues. The geographical diversity in our revenues attests to the success of our strategy to broaden our geographic diversity and continue to develop target markets, specifically in countries with growing defense budgets in Asian Pacific and Latin America, and that helps to compensate for the decline in other markets around the globe. These factors, in addition to the progress achieved in incorporating recently acquired companies, and the encouraging results of our R&D efforts, provide a solid basis for the continued growth of the Company.”

Second quarter 2011 results:

Revenues were $691.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $603.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. The leading contributors to the Company's revenues were the C4I systems and Airborne areas of operations.

Gross profit was $200.5 million (29.0% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $183.6 million (30.4% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010. The reduced gross profit rate was mainly a result of a mix of programs sold during the second quarter of 2011.

Research and development expenses, net were $55.4 million (8.0% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to 56.8 million (9.4% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010.

Marketing and selling expenses were $57.4 million (8.3% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $50.3 million (8.3% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses were $35.1 million (5.1% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $32.1 million (5.3% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010.

Operating Income was $52.6 million (7.6% of revenues), compared to $49.1 million (8.1% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010.

Financial expenses, net were $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. Financial expenses were comparatively higher in the second quarter of 2011 due to currency hedging related expenses as well as due to higher expenses related to the increased net debt of the Company.

Taxes on income were $5.4 million (effective tax rate of 12.4%) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to taxes on income of $6.5 million (effective tax rate of 13.5%) in the second quarter of 2010.

Other income, net in the second quarter of 2010 reflected a net gain of $4.8 million related to the revaluation of the previously held Azimuth Technologies Ltd. shares at the acquisition date due to its accounting treatment as a business combination achieved in stages.

Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and partnerships was $2.4 million (0.3% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $5.4 million (0.9% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders in the second quarter of 2011 amounted to $38.9 million (5.6% of revenues), as compared to $44.8 million (7.4% of revenues) for the second quarter of 2010.

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders were $0.90 for the second quarter of 2011, as compared with $1.04 for the second quarter of 2010.

The Company’s backlog of orders increased to $5,649 million as of June 30, 2011, as compared with $5,446 million as of December 31, 2010 and $5,358 million as of June 30, 2010. Approximately 78% of the backlog relates to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 62% of the Company's backlog as of June 30, 2011, is scheduled to be performed during the second half of 2011 and in 2012.

Operating cash flow was $23.3 million during the first half of 2011, as compared to $101.6 million in the first half of 2010. The reduction in operating cash flow was mainly a result of reduced net profit, increased inventories and increased trade receivables.

Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data is presented to enable investors to have additional information on the Company's business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to the Company's financial results. The Company believes such data provides useful information to investors by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of the Company's financial results over time. Such non-GAAP information is used by our management to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current performance. However, investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies.

The non-GAAP financial data below includes reconciliation adjustments regarding non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted EPS. In arriving at non-GAAP presentations, companies generally factor out items such as those that have a non-recurring impact on the income statements, various non-cash items, significant effects of retroactive tax legislation and changes in accounting guidance and other items which, in management's judgment, are items that are considered to be outside of the review of core operating results.  In the Company's non-GAAP presentation below, the Company made the following adjustments: (1) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (2) significant reorganization, restructuring and other related expenses, (3) impairment of investments, including impairment of auction rate securities, (4) gain from changes in holdings, including revaluation of the previously held shares at the acquisition date when a business combination is achieved in stages (step-up) and (5) the income tax effects of the foregoing.

These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.  Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U. S. dollars (In thousands)
 
 
Note  1 -
GENERAL
   
 
A.
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of June 30, 2011, and for the three and six months then ended in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP”) relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 2010, included in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on Form 20-F on March 14, 2011. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
     
   
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
     
 
B.
During the first six months of 2011 the Company completed the following acquisitions:
     
   
(1)
On February 9, 2011, the Company completed its cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase all of the ordinary shares of I.T.L Optronics Ltd. ("ITL"), which prior to the completion of the offer was a publicly traded company in Israel, held 87.85% by the Company. As a result, ITL became a private wholly-owned subsidiary. The total amount paid for the ITL shares, related to the offer, was approximately $5,900 (approximately $3.4 per share). As this was an equity transaction between the Company and ITL's non-controlling shareholders, the Company reduced its shareholders' equity for the excess cost over book value related to the minority interest in ITL.
       
   
(2)
On February 22, 2011, the Company acquired the remaining 30% of the shares of Elisra Electronic Systems Ltd. ("Elisra") held by Elta Systems Ltd. (“Elta”) for $67,500. Following the acquisition, Elisra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As this was an equity transaction between the Company and Elisra's non-controlling shareholders, the Company reduced its shareholders' equity for the excess cost over book value related to the minority interest in Eisra. Subsequently, Elisra changed its name to Elbit Systems EW and SIGINT - Elisra Ltd.
       
   
(3)
On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the shares of Elite Automotive Systems Ltd. ("Elite") for a purchase price of approximately $8,200. The Company allocated the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, based on a preliminary Purchase Price Allocation ("PPA") performed by an independent advisor.
       
   
(4)
On June 30, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of C4 Security Ltd. ("C4") for a purchase price of approximately $10,900, of which approximately $6,900 is contingent consideration related to the occurrence of future events. The Company allocated the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, based on a preliminary PPA performed by an independent advisor.

Note  2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
 
A.
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these statements are identical to those applied in preparation of the latest annual consolidated financial statements, except as detailed in Note 2(C).
     
 
B.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
     
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
 
C.
REVENUE RECOGNITION – ARRANGEMENT
 WITH MULTIPLE DELIVERABLES
     
   
The Company generates revenues principally from long-term contracts involving the design, development, manufacture and integration of defense systems and products. In addition, to a lesser extent, the Company provides support and services for such systems and products.
     
   
On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted a new accounting standard, ASU 2009-12, "Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements", that principally revised accounting guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated and how consideration should be allocated. This standard applies to new or materially modified contracts entered into after January 1, 2011.The adoption of the revised accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's financial results in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Further, had the Company earlier adopted the guidance at January 1, 2010, the guidance would not have a material effect on the Company's financial results in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.
     
 
D.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
   
   
(1)
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS", which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a non-financial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and has not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(2)
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income", which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Accordingly, the Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note  4 -
SERIES A NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (Cont.)
       
   
(1)
In June 2010, the Company issued Series A Notes in the aggregate principle amount of NIS 1.1 billion (approximately $283,000), payable in 10 equal annual installments on June 30 of each of the years 2011 through 2020. The Series A Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.84% per annum, payable on June 30 and December 30 of each of the years 2010 through 2020. During the period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $3,023 as interest expenses. Amortization of discount and deferred financing costs amounted to $247 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. On June 30, 2011, the Company paid the first installment of approximately $32,200 (NIS 110 million) of the Series A Notes principle amount.
       
     
The Series A Notes (principal and interest) are not linked to any currency or index. The Series A Notes are unsecured, non convertible and do not restrict the Company's ability to issue additional notes of any class or distribute dividends in the future. There are no covenants on the Series A Notes. The Series A Notes are listed for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
       
     
On May 3, 2011, Midroog Ltd., an Israeli rating agency, announced in its annual rating report that it continued to assign an "Aa1" rating (local scale) to Series A Notes issued by the Company.
       
     
As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the Series A Notes, based on the quoted market price on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, was approximately $282,302.
 
     
     
The Company also entered into ten-year cross currency interest rate swap transactions in order to effectively hedge the effect of interest and exchange rate differences resulting from the NIS Series A Notes. Under the cross currency interest rate swaps, the Company receives fixed NIS at a rate of 4.84% on NIS 1.1 billion and pays floating six-month USD LIBOR + an average spread of 1.65% on $287,000, which reflects the U.S. dollar value of the Series A Notes on the specific dates the transactions are entered. Both the debt and the swap instruments pay semi-annual coupons on June 30 and December 31. The purpose of these transactions is to convert the NIS fixed rate Series A Notes into USD LIBOR (6 months) floating rate obligations. As a result of these agreements, the Company is currently paying an effective interest rate of six-month LIBOR (0.457% at June 30, 2011) plus an average of 1.65% on the principal amount, as compared to the original 4.84% fixed rate. The above transactions qualify for fair value hedge accounting.
       
     
The gain or loss on the Series A Notes, attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk (risk of change on the applicable NIS swap rate) and the offsetting gain or loss on the related interest rate swap for the period ended June 30, 2011 was $5,977, net.
       
   
(2)
Convertible debentures were issued by ITL in July 2005. The convertible debentures bore a fixed interest of 4% per annum. The debentures were paid annually, and the last payment was in July 2011.

For ARS and CDO debt securities, their fair value was determined using an independent third party valuator. The fair value was based on a trinomial discount model employing assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. The assumptions included among others, the following: the underlying structure of the security, the financial standing of the issuer, stated maturities, estimates of the probability of the issue being called at par prior to final maturity, estimates of the probability of defaults and recoveries, auctions failure and successful auction or repurchase at par for each period, expected changes in interest rates paid on the securities, interest rates paid on similar instruments, and an estimated illiquidity discount due to extended redemption periods. Finally, the present value of the future principal and interest payments was discounted at rates considered to reflect current market conditions for each security.
       
Note  7 -
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
       
 
Cash Flow Hedges – The Company use currency hedging contracts (forwards and options strategies) to limit exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with revenue denominated in a foreign currency, primarily GBP and Euro. The Company also uses currency hedging contracts to hedge against anticipated costs to be incurred in a foreign currency, primarily NIS, and to limit its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations related to payroll expenses incurred in NIS. The net gain (loss) on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into revenues or operating expenses, as applicable, when the hedged exposure affects revenues or operating expenses, or as financial expenses, if the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring. Any gain after a hedge is re-designated because the hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring or related to an ineffective portion of a hedge is recognized immediately as financial expenses.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
 
A.
LEGAL CLAIMS
     
   
(1)
On April 8, 2011, the Company filed a claim against the Government of Georgia (the “Government”) in the High Court of Justice of the United Kingdom, in an amount of approximately $100,000.  The claim was filed as a result of the Government’s failure to pay amounts due to the Company in connection with deliverable items under several contracts signed in 2007.  Defense pleadings are anticipated to be filed in September 2011.
       
   
(2)
In December 2009, a claim in the amount of approximately $10,000 was filed in the District Court – Central District of Israel by Pinpoint Advance Corporation (“Pinpoint”) and four of its founders against two of the Company’s Israeli subsidiaries, Elbit Systems Holdings (1997) Ltd. and Kinetics Ltd. (“Kinetics”), as well as against one of the Company’s officers, Jacob Gadot. Pinpoint is a special purpose acquisition company that was in negotiations with the Company and other Kinetics’ shareholders regarding the sale of shares in Kinetics during 2008. The transaction was not completed and negotiations were terminated. Pinpoint claims that the agreement was completed and thus entered into effect. Alternatively, Pinpoint claims that the decision not to complete the agreement was made in bad faith, and that under the circumstances Pinpoint and its founders are entitled to pecuniary compensation equal to their rights and entitlements under the alleged breached contract. The Company believes there is no merit to the allegations made in the claim, and the plaintiffs have responded accordingly to the Court. In March 2010, the Court requested the parties to attempt mediation, and a mediation process was not successful.  The Court has scheduled a hearing for October 2011.
       
   
(3)
In May 2009, the Company filed a claim in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois against Credit Suisse Group (“CSG”). The complaint seeks to recover approximately $16,000 that the Company believes was fraudulently obtained by CSG and by its subsidiary Credit Suisse Securities (USA) from Tadiran Communications Ltd. (“Tadiran Communications”) in 2007 in connection with auction rate securities purchased by Tadiran Communications through CSG. In 2008, Tadiran Communication was merged into the Company, and Tadiran Communications’ activities are currently performed as part of the Company’s wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Elbit Systems Land and C4I Ltd. CSG filed a motion to dismiss the claim based on a release signed by Tadiran Communications in 2007. In December 2009, the case was moved to the Federal Southern District of New York. In July 2010, the Court ordered the parties to continue discovery regarding the release and ruled that the meaning and scope of the release will be decided in a hearing on summary judgment rather than on a motion to dismiss.
       
   
(4)
Between 2007 and January 2010, various claims were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal SDNY”) and the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (“New York State Court”) by certain minority security holders of ImageSat International N.V. (“ImageSat”) against ImageSat, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (“IAI”), the Company, Elbit Systems Electro-Optics – Elop Ltd. (“Elop”) and certain current and former officers and directors of ImageSat. The former directors include, among others, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman and Joseph Gaspar (currently the Company’s Board Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively), who at various times in the past served as Elop’s nominee to ImageSat’s board of directors. ImageSat’s largest shareholder is IAI, holding approximately 46% of ImageSat’s issued share capital. Elop holds approximately 14% (7% on a fully diluted basis) of ImageSat’s issued share capital and is entitled to nominate one director to ImageSat’s board. The claims contained various allegations that the defendants breached their fiduciary and/or contractual obligations to the detriment of the plaintiffs. The claims alleged various causes of action and damages aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars,

LEGAL CLAIMS
   
 
     
not all of which were alleged against the Company, Elop and/or each of the individual defendants. Currently, all of the above-mentioned claims have been dismissed by the Federal SDNY and the New York State Court (and applicable appellate courts) on the grounds of forum non-conveniens, except for two remaining proceedings in the New York State Court by certain of the plaintiffs, claiming a breach of the Security Holders Agreement between various security holders of ImageSat, including Elop, based on an alleged failure to appoint independent directors to the ImageSat board of directors. The Company and Elop believe such claims are baseless and have filed corresponding responses to the Court.
       
     
In April 2010, the Company and Elop were served with an Application to Approve a Derivative Action (the “Application”) filed in the District Court of Petach Tikva, Israel, by certain minority shareholders of ImageSat. The Application named a number of respondents, including among others, ImageSat, IAI, Elop, the Company and several former directors of ImageSat, including, among others, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman and Joseph Gaspar (the Company, Elop and the above-named former directors are referred to as the “Elbit Defendants”). The Application requested the Court to approve the filing of a derivative action on behalf of ImageSat for alleged breaches by some of the respondents of the applicants’ rights as minority shareholders in ImageSat. The nature of the allegations was substantially similar to those previously made by the applicants in various claims referred to above, made in the Federal SDNY and the New York State Court. The Elbit Defendants believe that there is no merit to the allegations made against them in this claim, and in July 2010, they filed motions to dismiss the Application on various grounds relating both to Netherland Antilles and Israeli law.  In May 2011, the Court granted the motions to dismiss the Application, and in June 2011 the applicants filed a notice of appeal to the Supreme Court of Israel.
       
     
IAI has agreed to indemnify the Company, Elop and the directors nominated by Elop to ImageSat’s board, for any losses arising out of any of the foregoing claims or legal proceedings, net of insurance proceeds received from ImageSat’s insurance policies and any indemnification proceeds received from ImageSat.

The Company is involved in other legal proceedings from time to time. Based on the advice of legal counsel, management believes such current proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     
 
B.
COVENANTS
     
   
In connection with bank credits and loans, including performance guarantees issued by banks and bank guarantees in order to secure certain advances from customers, the Company and certain subsidiaries are obligated to meet certain financial covenants. Such covenants include requirements for shareholders' equity, current ratio, operating profit margin, tangible net worth, EBITDA, interest coverage ratio and total leverage. As of June 30, 2011, Elbit Systems and its subsidiaries were in full compliance with all covenants.
