EXPLANATORY NOTE
----------------
The purpose of this Registration Statement on Form S-8 is to register
4,038,396 Ordinary Shares for issuance under the Attunity Ltd Year 2001 Stock
Option Plan and the Attunity Ltd - The 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan, which are
issuable as follows:
The Attunity Ltd Year 2001 Stock Option Plan, or the 2001 Plan,
authorized the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares and
was amended such that an additional 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares may be issued
thereunder, subsequent to which up to 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares were issuable
under the 2001 Plan.
The Attunity Ltd - The 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan , or the 2003
Plan, authorized the grant of options to purchase up to 1,500,000 Ordinary
Shares. The adoption of the 2003 Plan did not increase the total number of
ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the Registrant's stock option plans,
but rather Ordinary Shares available for grant under the Registrant's other
outstanding stock option plans may be rolled over into the 2003 Plan according
to a resolution of the Registrant's Board of Directors from time to time. The
Registrant is registering under this Registration Statement on Form S-8 an
aggregate 816,896 Ordinary Shares, of which 400,916 Ordinary Shares were
originally reserved for issuance under the Attunity Ltd (f/k/a ISG International
Software Group Ltd.) 1994 Stock Option Plan and 437,480 Ordinary Shares were
originally reserved for issuance under the Attunity Ltd (f/k/a ISG International
Software Group Ltd.) 1998 Stock Option Plan and have now been added to the 2003
Plan.
In August 2004, the Registrant's shareholders approved an amendment to
the 2001 Plan and 2003 Plan to provide for the issuance thereunder of an
additional 600,000 Ordinary Shares, such shares to be allocated between the two
plans as determined by the Registrant's Board of Directors from time to time.
In December 2004, the Registrant's shareholders approved a further
amendment to the 2001 Plan and 2003 Plan to provide for the issuance thereunder
of an additional 600,000 Ordinary Shares, such shares to be allocated between
the two plans as determined by the Registrant's Board of Directors from time to
time.

Not applicable.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Exculpation of Office Holders
The Israeli Companies Law provides that an Israeli company cannot
exculpate an office holder from liability with respect to a breach of his duty
of loyalty, but may, if permitted by its articles of association, exculpate in
advance an office holder from his liability to the company, in whole or in part,
with respect to a breach of his duty of care. Our articles of association permit
us to exculpate an officer to the maximum extent permitted by the Israeli
Companies Law.
Insurance of Office Holders
The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by
its articles of association, enter into a contract for the insurance of the
liability of any of its office holders with respect to an act performed by him
in his capacity as an office holder, for:
4
o breach of his duty of care to us or to another person;
o breach of his duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office
holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume
that his act would not prejudice our interests; or
o a financial liability imposed upon him in favor of another
person.
Our articles of association provide that we may enter into a contract
for the insurance of the liability, in whole in part, of any of our office
holders, to the maximum extent permitted by the Israeli Companies Law.
Indemnification of Office Holders
In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, our articles of
association provide that we may, with respect to an act performed by an office
holder in such capacity, (i) undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder,
provided that the undertaking shall be restricted to foreseeable events and up
to a feasible amount, as determined by our board of directors; and (ii)
indemnify an office holder retroactively; against:
o a financial liability imposed on him in favor of another person
by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator's award
approved by a court; and
o reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees,
expended by such office holder or charged to him by a court, in a
proceeding we instituted against him or instituted on our behalf
or by another person, or in a criminal charge from which he was
acquitted or in which he was convicted of an offense that does
not require proof of criminal intent.
Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification
The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify an
office holder, nor exculpate an office holder, nor enter into an insurance
contract which would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a
result of certain improper actions.
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, exculpation of, procurement of
insurance coverage for, and an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification of,
our office holders must be approved by our audit committee and our board of
directors and, if such office holder is a director, also by our shareholders.
We have undertaken to indemnify our office holders to the fullest
extent permitted by law. We currently maintain directors and officers liability
insurance with a per claim and aggregate coverage limit of $10 million including
legal costs incurred in Israel.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment hereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement;
and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and
(a)(l)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
6
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
7
