Exhibit 1

MIND CTI Filed for Court Approval for Future Dividend Distribution and Buyback Renewal

Yoqneam, Israel, January 12, 2010 -MIND C.T.I. LTD. (NasdaqGM:MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers as well as telecom expense management (call management) solutions, today announced an update on its buyback program and the filing for a court approval to enable future dividend distribution.

Buyback Update
In November 2008, MIND started to execute the first buyback program, of MIND ordinary shares for aggregate consideration in cash of $2.8 million. As of December 31, 2009, MIND has purchased a total of 3.2 million shares for a total consideration of approximately $2.8 million.

As previously announced, MIND's Board of Directors authorized on November 4, 2009 a new plan for the repurchase of the Company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $1.8 million.

Under the repurchase program, share purchases may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase may be suspended from time to time or discontinued.

Dividend Distribution Update
In July 2003, the Board of Directors had adopted our dividend policy. We have since distributed yearly cash dividends six times and one special dividend as well. We intend to continue to distribute dividends based on factors that include our cash flow, our cash position and our activities.

On December 30, 2009 the Board of Directors resolved that the Company should seek court approval formally required in order to enable a distribution for the year 2009, in an amount similar to previous years, of 20 cents per share. The Board did not yet approve the dividend itself.

Filing for Court Approval
Under Israeli law, a company with insufficient retained earnings is required to obtain approval from the court for such a cash distribution as well as for the buyback program that is considered a distribution.

The Company filed today an application to approve both a future distribution of up to $3.7 million and the buyback of up to $1.8 million.

We expect to obtain such court approval within 8 to 12 weeks, although there is no guarantee that such approval will not be delayed or denied. Prior to paying any dividend, which is still subject to specific Board approval, the Company will issue a press release announcing the exact dividend amount, record date and distribution date.
