        LIPMAN SEES SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS SLIGHTLY BELOW ANALYSTS'
             CONSENSUS ESTIMATES; REITERATES FULL YEAR 2005 GUIDANCE

Rosh Haayin, Israel, June 30, 2005 - Lipman Electronic Engineering Ltd. (Nasdaq,
TASE: LPMA) today announced that although it only provides annual guidance and
refrains from providing quarterly guidance, it has decided to provide
information regarding expected second quarter 2005 results which are expected to
be slightly lower than analysts' consensus. Revenues for the second quarter are
expected to be between $57 and $58 million, with diluted net income per share,
expected to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24. Excluding stock based
compensation, which is estimated to be approximately $1.3 million in the second
quarter (equal to approximately $.05 per share), pro forma net income per
diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.29.

The Company noted that the difference between the currently expected results and
analysts' estimates for the second quarter was primarily due to the timing of
orders, as several orders that were expected to close towards the end of the
second quarter have been delayed. Lipman expects to receive these orders in the
third quarter, and reiterates its previously provided guidance for the full 2005
year of $273 to $285 million in revenues and diluted net income per share in the
range



                                       1




of $1.39 to $1.42. Excluding stock based compensation, which is estimated to be
approximately $5.4 million in 2005 (equal to approximately $0.20 per share), pro
forma net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $1.59 to
$1.62.

Isaac Angel, President and CEO of Lipman said, "Lipman is committed to providing
the most accurate, up-to-date information possible about its operational
performance. While we do not provide sequential guidance due to seasonality and
quarterly fluctuations in our business, we believe it is important to provide an
update this quarter given the difference between our currently expected results
and analysts' consensus. Despite the difference from analysts' consensus
regarding our expected second quarter results, our full year guidance remains
unchanged. We continue to believe in the overall strength of Lipman and its
position in the Point of Sale (POS) terminal market and expect to see solid
performance in the second half of 2005."

The Company will release second quarter 2005 financial results on Tuesday, July
26, 2005, following the close of market. Lipman management will host a
conference call at 9:00 EDT on Wednesday, July 27, 2005, which will be
simultaneously web cast. Investors are invited to listen to the call via a live
