Highlights * Revenues up 36% year on year to US$ 7.3 million (US$ 5.4 million) * Gross profit up 44% year on year to US$ 3.2 million (US$ 2.2 million) with gross margin of 44.3% (41.7%) * Net profits up 84% year on year to US$ 1.4 million (US$ 0.75 million) with increased net margin of 19.1% (14.1%) * Basic earnings per share up 30% to 3.1¢ (2.4¢) * Positive outlook for remainder of 2006 with healthy order book and opportunity pipeline * Net cash position of US$ 12 million (equating to 12p per ordinary share) as at 30 June 2006 * Intention to pay out approximately 25 per cent. of net profit as dividend for the full financial year * Successful initial public offering and admission to AIM in March 2006 with offering oversubscribed and raising net proceeds of GB £5 million Dov Feiner, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "MTI continued its strong top line and earnings momentum in the first six months of the year, with improved margins at all levels reporting its 14th consecutive revenue growth. Our contracted but as yet unfulfilled order book is very healthy with US$ 4.1 million of committed revenues for the remainder of 2006, compared to US$ 2.75 million at this stage last year. US$ 3.8 million of this current order book is due for completion during the third quarter. We have won significant new contracts and our forward opportunity pipeline is encouraging. We sell our products to the world's leading original equipment manufacturers of wireless broadband systems, and our antennas are now installed in over 130 countries, worldwide. "The fixed wireless broadband equipment market is estimated to be growing by more than 40 per cent. per year, according to Skylight Research, and therefore presents an enormous potential for MTI as the world leader in the provision of fixed broadband wireless antennas. We continue to work hard to develop long-term business relationships with key partners and customers around the world, as well as to leverage our market leading position by developing additional emerging applications such as Radio Frequency Identification (`RFID') antennas for use in inventory tracking and supply chain management in large warehouses. "The successful completion of our IPO is a major step for the Company, providing us with additional capital to pursue our strategic international expansion and product development whilst, at the same time, helping to raise our international profile."
