The result for the third quarter of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007 shows a significant improvement in all major aspects: sales, gross margin, operational expenses, net profit and cash flow. The increase in profitability is higher than the increase in the sales as Orad has managed to improve gross margins by reducing material costs whilst improving production efficiencies. The net profit also improved due to efficiencies achieved in managing operational expenses' commented Avi Sharir President and CEO of Orad and added, 'The strong cash flow is an evidence of our increased backlog with higher amount of deferred revenues recognizable in the near future'.

Gross margin in the first nine months of 2007 improved significantly to 67% compared to 60% in the first nine months of 2006. This is a result of a decrease in the cost of materials, increased sales volumes and a different sales mixture. Operational expenses Operational expenses in Q3/07 were stable compared to the second quarter of 2007. Q3/07 operational expenses reflected a much lower percentage of sales, compared to previous quarter and compared to Q3/06. Orad has efficiently managed to increase its sales volume with much lower increase in operational expenses. The result is a much higher profitability.
