TAT Technologies Announces Potential Impairment of Certain Assets

GEDERA, Israel, November 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TAT Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:TATT), a leading provider of services and products to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries, today announced that in the process of preparing its interim financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and in accordance with policies and practices customary to it and to its subsidiaries (herein after "Group Companies"), TAT periodically evaluates the fair value of certain assets of the Group Companies. These valuations are conducted with the assistance of independent valuation companies.

Initial indications of the above mentioned tests and of a draft valuation received by the Company suggest that material impairment might be required with respect to the fair value of certain assets.

As a results, it appears that the Company might record a loss in its interim financial statements for the periods ended on September 30, 2010.

It should be noted that at this time in the process of preparing the interim financial statements it also appears that the Company does not expect any material adverse changes in its revenues and gross profit for the third quarter of 2010, compared with the second quarter of 2010.

It should also be noted that the information set forth above is still an estimate based upon partial data gathered at the Company. The complete data used in the preparation of the interim financial statements is being processed and analyzed and is yet to be reviewed by the company's auditors. Accordingly, changes to the information stated above are possible.
