By the closing Order, dated November 15, 2002, from U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the case was settled and dismissed with prejudice.

On September 18, 2001, the District Court appointed Glancy & Binkow Lead Counsel to prosecute this case on behalf of ECI investors. In the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs alleged ECI fraudulently engaged in a premature revenue recognition scheme, which violated both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and ECI’s own accounting policies. Following the District Court’s denial of the defendants’ motions to dismiss, plaintiff began extensive discovery. According to the Notice of Pendency and Settlement of the Class action, the parties reached an agreement on or about November 18, 2002 and established a Settlement Fund of $21.75 million in cash.

According to the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs alleged ECI fraudulently engaged in a premature revenue recognition scheme, which violated both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and ECI’s own accounting policies. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that defendants ECI Telecom Ltd. and certain of its officers and directors violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market concerning, inter alia, ECI's reported revenue for the first, second and third quarters of 2000. On Feb. 14, 2001, the Company announced that it expected to move $38 million in revenue from 1999's financial statement to 2000, and $61 million from 2000 to 2001.
