For Immediate Release

RoboGroup Announces Net Profit and 27% Increase in Revenues in Second-Quarter 2005

RoboGroup’s Board Approved Voluntarily Deregistration and Delisting from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market

ROSH HA’AYIN, Israel, August 4, 2005 – RoboGroup T.E.K. Ltd. (Nasdaq: ROBO) today reported second-quarter and first-half 2005 financial results. Revenues for the second quarter increased by 27% to NIS 16.9 million (US$3.7 million) from NIS 13.3 million (US$2.9 million) for the comparable quarter in 2004. Gross profit for the second quarter was NIS 8.1 million (US$1.8 million) compared with NIS 5.9 million (US$1.3 million) for the comparable period in 2004.

The company reported second-quarter net profit of NIS 0.4 million (US$0.1 million) compared with a net loss of NIS 2.9 million (US$0.6 million) in second-quarter of 2004. Backlog, as of June 30, 2005 increased significantly to NIS 13.5 million (US$3 million) from NIS 7.9 million (US$1.7) as of June 30, 2004.

Revenues for the six month period totaled NIS 27.8 million (US$6.1 million) compared with NIS 27.7 million (US$6.1 million) for the comparable period in 2004. The net loss for the six month period decreased significantly to NIS 2.2 million (US$0.5 million) from NIS 5.8 million (US$1.3 million) in the comparable period in 2004.

Rafael Aravot, chief executive officer of RoboGroup, commented: “I am pleased with our second quarter results. In addition to generating higher revenues and increased backlog, we managed to keep our cost level low as a result of the efficiency improvement measures we have implemented during the last quarters, and we achieved net profit. Looking forward, we plan to focus on realizing the full potential of the market opportunities, while continuing to focus our attention on operating efficiency, thereby maximizing revenues while controlling costs”.



Deregistration and delisting from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market

The Company’s board of directors today resolved to voluntarily deregister the Company’s shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and upon deregistration, to delist from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. To deregister its ordinary shares, the Company will file a Form 15 with the SEC thereby suspending its obligations for filing annual and other reports with the SEC. The Company intends to seek authorization from NASDAQ to maintain the listing of its shares on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market for the period of 90 days from the filing of the Form 15, or such shorter period until the deregistration of its shares becomes effective, and will undertake to continue file reports on a voluntary basis until delisting. In its decision, the Company’s board resolved to authorize RoboGroup’s management to determine the exact timing for filing the Form 15 and to take all measures and acts required for the implementation of the deregistration and delisting process. Subject to the SEC’s review, the Company anticipates completing the process within 90-days.

The board’s plan to deregister and delist its ordinary shares was made after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of continuing the Company’s share registration in the United States and the rising costs and demands on management time arising in connection with SEC and NASDAQ compliance requirements. The Company’s board believes that the current burdens associated with being a “reporting company” under the 1934 Act, including the recent obligations arising under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 outweigh the advantages of being traded both in the US and in Israel. The board estimates that the deregistration and delisting will achieve a substantial reduction in the Company’s annual expenses associated with being a reporting company in the US.

The Company’s shares shall continue to trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Company will continue to issue periodic and other reports in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Israeli Securities Authority.

In the opinion of the Company’s board, the delisting and deregistration will benefit the Company and all of its shareholders, including its US shareholders, who will be able to continue to trade the Company’s shares on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.

Mr. Aravot commented on the delisting decision: “As part of our cost control efforts our Board approved the voluntarily delisting and deregistration of our shares from the Nasdaq SmallCap market. We believe that this step will significantly reduce reporting-related expenses, avoid potentially higher future expenses, enable our management to focus more of its time on operating the Company, and create greater value for our shareholders”

Notes to the Financial Statements

NIS in Thousands

NOTE 1 GENERAL

  (a) These financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of June 30, 2005, and for the six and three months then ended (“interim financial statements”). The above mentioned financial statements have been prepared in conformity with chapter 4 of the Securities Regulations (Interim and Immediate Statements), 1970. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended.

  (b) These financial statements have been reviewed by the Company’s certified public accountants. The review was conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel regarding interim periods. The review was limited in scope and did not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and therefore no opinion was expressed by the Company’s certified public accountants.

  (c) In management’s opinion all necessary adjustments were made in order to present correctly these interim financial statements.

  (d) In the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred net losses of approximately NIS 8 million and NIS 18 million, respectively. In addition, the Company had negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of approximately NIS 6 million and NIS 9 million, respectively.

  The Company’s management took steps to strengthen and improve the Company’s financial state and its profitability. Those steps included consolidating activities, reducing manpower, reducing salary costs of senior executives and cutting general expenses. Those steps were implemented mainly during the year 2004.

  For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company had net profit of approximately NIS 0.4 million and positive cash flows from operating activities in the amount of approximately NIS 1.1 million, compared to net losses of approximately NIS 2.9 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately NIS 5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

  For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company incurred net losses of approximately NIS 2.2 million and had positive cash flows from operating activities in the amount of approximately NIS 0.1 million compared to net losses of approximately NIS 5.8 million and negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of approximately NIS 7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

  In addition, on March 2005, a proportionally consolidated company distributed a dividend as detailed in Note 3 (1). Another possible distribution of dividend in the same amount was approved for August 2005.

  (e) On August 3, 2005 the Company’s board of directors has resolved to voluntarily terminate the registration of the the Company’s shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and upon deregistration, to delist from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. In order to terminate the registration of its ordinary shares, the Company will file a Form 15 with the SEC thereby suspending its obligations for filing annual and other reports with the SEC. The Company will seek authorization from NASDAQ to maintain the listing of its shares on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market for the period of 90 days from the filing of the Form 15, or such shorter period until the deregistration of its shares becomes effective, and will undertake to continue file reports on a voluntary basis until delisting.

  The Company’s board resolved to authorize RoboGroup’s management to determine the exact timing for filing the Form 15 and to take all measures and acts required for the implementation of the deregistration and delisting process. Subject to SEC review, the Company anticipates completing the process within 90-days of the filing.

The Company’s shares shall continue to trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Company will continue to issue periodic and other reports in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Israeli Securities Authority.

  The Company wrote-off differed issuance expenses in the amount of approximately NIS 0.6 million in the second quarter of 2005, which had been accounted in connection with the Equity Line agreement with Cornell.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  A. General

  The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the preparation of financial statements for interim periods, as prescribed in Accounting Standard No. 14 of the Israel Accounting Standards Board.

  B. Impact of recently issued Accounting Standards

  On July 2004, the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting Standard No. 19, “Taxes on Income”. The Standard provides that a liability for deferred taxes is to be recorded for all temporary differences subject to tax, except for a limited number of exceptions. In addition, a deferred tax asset is to be recorded for all temporary differences that may be deducted, losses for tax purposes and tax benefits not yet utilized, if it is anticipated that there will be taxable income against which they can be offset, except for a limited number of exceptions. The new Standard applies to financial statements for periods beginning on January 1, 2005. The Standard provides that it is to be implemented by means of a cumulative effect of a change in accounting method. Applying the new Standard had now material effect on the company’s financial statements.

  C. Following are data regarding the Israeli CPI and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar:

NOTE 3 TRANSACTION WITH INTERESTED RELATED PARTIES
