'We are proud again to present another record quarter. 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'.

Net profit 185 117 332 621
Cash status 9,662 10,629 11,443 13,306
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2007 was 64%, compared to 62% in the third
quarter of 2006, mainly as a result of increases in sales volumes and improved
efficiencies together with a different sales mix.
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.
