Silicom Ltd. and its Consolidated Subsidiary
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – General

A. Description of Business

Silicom Ltd. is an Israeli corporation engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting server networking solutions for manufacturers of storage systems, internet traffic management systems, security appliances and other manufacturers providing a variety of server-based systems (“Server Networking Products”). It also offers a broad range of its traditional PC cards, PCI cards and USB products.

In these financial statements the terms “Company” or “Silicom” refer to Silicom Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silicom Connectivity Solutions, Inc., whereas the term “subsidiary” refers to Silicom Connectivity Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Silicom Ltd.

Silicom markets its products directly, through (i) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) which sell the Company’s connectivity products under their own private labels or incorporate the Company’s products into their products, (ii) its US-based subsidiary and (iii) a worldwide network of independent distributors.

Most of the Company’s raw materials are readily available, but certain key components are currently available from only one source and others are available from a limited number of sources.

B. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information [and contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein]. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006. Results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Note 4 – Share-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement 123R”). This Statement requires compensation cost relating to share-based payments to be recognized in the financial statements and measured based on grant date fair value of the award. Under the fair value method, the estimated fair value of awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective transition method and therefore prior periods were not restated. Under the modified-prospective transition method, compensation costs recognized as of January 1, 2006, include also compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006. The effect of the implementation of SFAS 123R was to increase expenses by US$ 72 thousand and US$ 36 thousand in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and by US$ 26 thousand and US$ 13 thousands in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which changed income before taxes on income and net income to the aforementioned periods by the same amounts, respectively. The basic and diluted income per ordinary share effect was a decrease of US$ 0.01 and US$ 0.00 in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and US$ 0.00 and US$ 0.00 in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

Note 5 – Events in the current period

A.     As of June 30, 2007, approximately 233 thousand option certificates (Series 1) were exercised. As a result, net proceeds to the Company were approximately US$ 2 million.

B.     In May 2007, the company conducted a private placement, pursuant to which the company issued to certain “accredited investors” and “qualified institutional purchasers” 875,000 ordinary shares at a purchase price of $20.50 per share and warrants to purchase up to 218,750 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $28.25 per share. The warrants issued to the investors will expire in July 2010. Net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $16.7 million, net of $1.2 million of issuance costs. In addition, the company issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,937 ordinary shares on the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 83.0% to $12,666 thousand compared to $6,922 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly due to Design Wins which matured during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and due to additional Design Wins that were secured, all of which were related to our Server Adapters and Server Bypass Adapters.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $5,032 thousand compared to $2,637 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit as percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 39.7%, compared to 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our gross profit is largely dependent on the mix of products we sell during a specific period. The slightly higher gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily a result of such a change to the mix of sold products.

Research and development expenses, gross, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 17.1% to $1,063 thousand compared to $908 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was mainly attributed to our continued investment in new product development, enhancements to existing products, and the development of new networking and connectivity technologies.

Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 57.7% to $782 thousand compared to $496 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly due to our continued investment in the promotion of our server networking products.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 30.9% to $542 thousand compared to $414 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly due to the growth in our activity as demonstrated by the increase in our sales which amounted to 83.0%.

Financial income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 590.2% to $352 thousands compared to $51 thousands for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in funds available for investments.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007 we made a provision for current income tax of $200 thousands and recorded an increase of a deferred income tax of $17 thousands compared to no such provision for income tax or deferred tax assets in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,814 thousand compared to a net income of $867 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly due to our higher sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Impact of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations, Liabilities and Assets

Since the institution by the Israeli government of an economic recovery program for the halting of high inflation rates in 1985, inflation, while continuing, has been significantly reduced and the rate of devaluation has been substantially diminished. Since the majority of our revenues are denominated and paid in U.S. dollars, we believe that inflation and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate have not had a material effect on our revenue to date. Inflation in Israel and the Israeli currency as well as U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, do however, have some effect on our expenses and, as a result, on our net income/loss. The cost of our Israeli operations, as expressed in U.S. dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar.

We do not presently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2007, we had working capital of $26,235 thousand and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 5.94. Since inception, our operations have been funded through capital contributions, research and development grants and cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2007 increased by $9,252 thousand to $13,765 thousand compared with $4,513 thousand as of December 31, 2006. Short-term investments increased by $5,740 thousand, long-term investments increased by $5,323 thousand. The net increase of $20,315 thousand in these three balance sheet items during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to the net proceeds provided by the private placement of 875,000 ordinary shares completed in May 2007, by the exercise of warrants and options and due to the net cash provided by operating activities.

Trade receivables increased to $4,181 thousand as of June 30, 2007 from $3,277 thousand as of December 31, 2006, mainly due to the significant increase in sales in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to sales in the fourth quarter of 2006. Other receivables increased from $301 thousand to $721 thousand.

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $1,135 thousand compared to cash used by operating activities in the amount of $157 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly the result of our positive operating income. The figure is lower than the actual operating income due to the fact that as sales grow, we are required to devote more resources to inventories and manufacturing activities, before collection of payments from customers.

Inventories increased from $3,739 thousand as of December 31, 2006 to $6,066 thousand as of June 30, 2007, mainly due to the fact that as our sales grow and customers demand receipt of products within a number of weeks following the issuance of purchase orders, we are required to be ready to deliver our products in accordance with our customers’ expectations.

3



Capital expenditures on property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $221 thousand compared with $126 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2007 we increased investment in development and testing tools for our new product lines of server networking cards.

In January 2006, we completed an offering and sale of 10,000 units in Israel, composed of 800,000 of our ordinary shares and 400,000 warrants, pursuant to a prospectus filed with the Israeli Securities Authority and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The sale of units resulted in net proceeds of approximately $5.6 million. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 233 thousand warrants were exercised, resulting in additional proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. Exercise of additional warrants in the future will contribute additional proceeds of up to approximately $1.4 million.

In May 2007, we conducted a private placement, pursuant to which we issued to certain “accredited investors” and “qualified institutional purchasers” 875,000 ordinary shares at a purchase price of $20.50 per share and warrants to purchase up to 218,750 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $28.25 per share. The warrants issued to the investors will expire in July 2010. Net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $16.7 million, net of $1.2 million of issuance costs. We issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,937 ordinary shares on the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors.

Trade payables increased from $2,481 thousand as of December 31, 2006 to $4,210 thousand as of June 30, 2007, mainly due to our increased sales, which resulted in increased operating expenses. Other payables and accrued liabilities increased from $971 thousand as of December 31, 2006 to $1,100 thousand as of June 30, 2007.
