MTI Wireless Edge Ltd ('MTI' or the 'Company')

Financial results for the three months ended 31 March 2010

MTI Wireless Edge Ltd., (ticker: MWE) ('MTI' or 'the Company'), a market leader in the manufacture of flat panel antennas for fixed wireless broadband, today announces its unaudited results for the three months ended 31 March 2010.

Highlights

·    Revenue of US$2.8m (Q1 2009: US$3.4m), a reduction mainly due to a late influx of orders

·    Q1 operating loss of US$542k (Q1 2009: profit of US$76k)

·    Book to Bill ratio of 1.2 in the quarter

·    Cash and cash equivalents of US$12.5m as at 31 March 2010

Dov Feiner, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Results for the first quarter of 2010 have been disappointing in terms of both revenue and profit. The major factors in this were timing issues, and in particular that there was an influx of commercial orders late in the quarter and it was difficult to ship these before the end of March.  Whilst this has impacted Q1 numbers, we believe that this is revenue that has been delayed rather than revenue lost because the problem has now been resolved and the backlog of orders was cleared in April.

"In addition, we have booked orders in Q1 2010 of 20% more than billing and enter Q2 with stronger forward bookings and with further significant contracts under negotiation. 

"MTI continues to have a strong balance sheet and our current forward order book allows the Board to remain confident in the long term growth prospects of the Company."

 NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General:

M.T.I Wireless Edge Ltd. (hereafter - the Company) is an Israeli corporation. It was incorporated under the Companies Act in Israel on December 30, 1998 as a wholly- owned subsidiary of M.T.I Computers and Software Services (1982) Ltd. (hereafter - the Parent Company) and commenced operations on July 1, 2000. Since March 2006, the Company's shares have been traded on the AIM Stock Exchange.

The formal address of the company is 11 Hamelacha Street, Afek industrial Park, Rosh-Ha'Ayin, Israel.

The Company is engaged in the development, design, manufacture and marketing of antennas and accessories.

In March 2008, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Switzerland based AdvantCom Sarl (hereafter AdvantCom). AdvantCom is engaged in selling and distributing of antennas and accessories and in manufacturing through an Indian subsidiary.

In February 2009, pursuant to the founder's agreement, 20 percent of the issued and outstanding share capital of GlobalWave Technologies PVT Ltd (formerly a wholly owned Indian based subsidiary of AdvantCom), was allotted to investors in return for approximately $5,000.

Certain rental, operational and administrate services are provided by the Parent Company to the Company.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies:

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the preparation of financial statements for interim periods, as prescribed in International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ("Interim Financial Reporting").

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009 are applied consistently in these interim consolidated financial statements, except for the impact of the adoption of the Standards and Interpretations described below.

-     IFRS 3 (Revised) - Business Combinations and IAS 27 (Revised) - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements:

These standards have been applied prospectively from 1 January 2010. The implementation of these standards will affect future acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests.

The principal changes following the adoption of these Standards are:

(a) IFRS 3 previously prescribes that goodwill, as opposed to the acquiree's other identifiable assets and liabilities, should  be measured as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the acquirer's share in the fair value of the identifiable assets, net on the acquisition date. According to the Revised Standards, goodwill can be measured at its full fair value and not only based on the acquired part, with each business combination transaction measured separately.

 NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 - Significant Accounting POLICIES (Cont.):

-    IFRS 3 (Revised) - Business Combinations and IAS 27 (Revised) - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Cont.):

(b) A contingent consideration in a business combination is measured at fair value and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration, which do not represent adjustments to the acquisition cost in the measurement period, should not be simultaneously recognized as goodwill adjustment. Normally, the contingent consideration is considered a financial derivative within the scope of IAS 39 and presented at fair value through profit or loss.

(c) Direct acquisition costs attributed to a business combination transaction are recognized in the comprehensive income statement as incurred as opposed to the previous requirement of carrying them as part of the consideration of the cost of the business combination, which has been removed.

(d) A minority transaction, whether a sale or an acquisition, will be accounted for as an equity transaction and will therefore not be recognized in the statement of income or have any effect on the amount of goodwill, respectively.

(e) A subsidiary's losses, although resulting in the subsidiary's deficiency, are allocated between the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if the non-controlling interests have not guaranteed or have no contractual obligation of sustaining the subsidiary or carrying out another investment.

 (f) On the loss of control of a subsidiary, the remaining investment in the subsidiary, if any, is revalued to fair value against gain and loss from the sale and this fair value will represent the cost basis for the purpose of subsequent treatment.

-    Amendments to IFRS 2 - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions

In June 2009, the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 2 to clarify its scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate or individual financial statements of the entity receiving the goods or services when that entity has no obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction. The amendments also incorporate the guidance contained in the following Interpretations:

• IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2

• IFRIC 11 IFRS 2-Group and Treasury Share Transactions.

The implementation of Amendments to IFRS 2 has had no impact on the reported results or financial position of the Company.
