MIND CTI Reports Results for the Third Quarter 2008
*Cash Flow from Operating Activities of $1.2 Million

Yoqneam, Israel, November 10, 2008 – MIND CTI 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 for the enterprise market, today announced results for the third quarter 2008.

Monica Eisinger, Chairperson and CEO, commented: “In this period of global economy turmoil, we continue to execute our strategy of focusing on profitability and cash flow. We will continue to build for the future, based on our comprehensive offering, solid balance sheet and valuable customers. We believe that the extent to which an organization is effective in planning for a crisis will have a large impact on its success in managing that crisis. We have successfully overcome past challenging periods and we believe that our experience helps us not only to better understand the current financial crisis but also to plan the steps we should be considering right now and to execute those steps promptly and effectively.”

Financial Highlights of Q3 2008

  Revenues of $4.6 million, compared with $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2007.

  Non-cash impairment of intangible assets, mainly goodwill, in the amount of $1.5 million.

  Non-GAAP operating income was $481 thousand, or 10.4% of revenue, excluding impairment of $1.5 million, amortization of intangible assets of $130 thousand and equity-based compensation expense of $45 thousand.

  GAAP operating loss was $1.2 million.

  Impairment of Auction Rate Security in the amount of $1.1 million.

  GAAP net loss of $2.4 million or $0.11 per share, compared with GAAP net income of $955 thousand or $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2007.

  Cash flow from operating activities of $1.2 million.

  Strong cash position of approximately $10.9 million on September 30, 2008.

Stock Repurchase
On September 8, 2008 we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a plan for the repurchase of up to 2.1 million of the Company’s ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $2.8 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.

Since the repurchase program required prior court approval, we expect to activate the program towards the end of November 2008, as originally estimated.

Auction Rate Securities
As previously announced, we continue to receive interest payments every month on the held security, which is now rated CC by S&P and Caa3 with CreditWatch with negative implications by Moody’s. The arbitration process with Credit Suisse is still ongoing.

Conference Call Information
MIND will host a conference call on November 11, 2008 at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Time, to discuss the Company’s third quarter 2008 results and other financial and business information. The call will be carried live on the Internet via www.fulldisclosure.com and the MIND website, www.mindcti.com. For those unable to listen to the live web cast, a replay will be available.
