MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Commenting on the results, Mr. Eitan Livneh, President and CEO of Magal, said, "We are very proud of our achievements over the past year which has led to these outstanding quarterly results, the highest in Magal's history. The in excess of $80 million in project wins that we have announced over the past year, as well as our execution on these projects which are in various stages of delivery, contributed to the strong improvement in revenue and profit."

Continued Mr. Livneh, "I believe Magal has successfully transitioned to the new path we initiated over the past two years, and the fruits of our efforts are finally visible in the outstanding results of the quarter. Following our successful rights offering and significant cash generation in the quarter, we have a very healthy balance sheet and strong financial position. This enables us to better compete for larger scale projects and pursue new opportunities. At the same time, we continue to see strong market demand for our services, particularly in global developing regions, and we believe our momentum will continue into the coming quarter and beyond."
