Certain statements made herein that are not historical are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Gilat to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, changes in general economic and business conditions, inability to maintain market acceptance to Gilat’s products, inability to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications, rapid changes in the market for Gilat’s products, loss of market share and pressure on prices resulting from competition, introduction of competing products by other companies, inability to manage growth and expansion, loss of key OEM partners, inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, inability to protect the Company’s proprietary technology and risks associated with Gilat’s international operations and its location in Israel.

Notes:
(1) The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The attached summary financial statements for Q3 2007 are unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Gilat’s net income, EBITDA and earnings per diluted share, before the share-based payment charge, which is the non-cash stock option expense as per SFAS 123 (R). This non-GAAP presentation of net income, EBITDA and earnings per share is provided to enhance the understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance and comparability between periods.

(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization, non cash stock option expenses as per SFAS 123(R) and exceptional items, (‘EBITDA’) is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.

Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company’s Operating income and EBIDTA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
