Arotech Gives Guidance On 2003 Results - Revenues
Expected To Top $17 Million

Conference call on Thursday, January 15, 2004 at 10:00 a.m.

January 15, 2004 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) today gave guidance with respect to its 2003 results, with final results expected to be reported in February. Arotech expects that 2003 revenues will have increased dramatically over 2002, from $6.4 million in 2002 to over $17 million in 2003.

EBITDA loss (excluding certain non-cash items) is expected to have been reduced significantly in 2003.

While Arotech expects to report significantly improved cash flow for 2003, Arotech expects that several non-cash items related to its recent acquisitions and financings, including recent conversions of debentures, will have a negative impact on net loss.

Yesterday Arotech announced that it has closed on two previously-announced acquisitions, acquiring military simulator company FAAC Incorporated and military battery producer Epsilor Electronic Industries Ltd.

Arotech will hold a conference call to discuss these preliminary results and the recent acquisitions on today, January 15, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. EST.

Those wishing to take part in the conference call should call 1-800-967-7184 (US) or +1-719-457-2633 (international) a few minutes before the 10:00 a.m. EDT start time. In addition, an instant replay will be available Thursday, January 15, 2004 at 1:00 p.m. EDT until Friday, January 16, 2004 at 8:00 p.m. EDT. The replay telephone number is 1-888-203-1112 (US); +1-719-457-0820 (international). The passcode is 119177.

"Our goal for 2003 was to triple revenues and dramatically cut costs and losses, and we anticipate that our final results will show that we did what we set out to do," said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech's Chairman, President and CEO. "With the addition of FAAC and Epsilor, we see revenues more than doubling in 2004 and EBITDA profits."
