Magal Security Systems Ltd. Announces Second Quarter 2006 Results

Monday July 31, 6:59 am ET

Revenues for the Second Quarter Increased 12.4% YOY

YAHUD, Israel, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems Ltd.
(NasdaqGM:MAGS ; TASE:MAGS) today announced its consolidated financial results
for the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2006 reached US$14.9 million, an increase of
12.4 percent compared with the second quarter of 2005 and an increase of 10.4
percent over the first quarter of 2006.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2006 reached US$6.2 million (41.8 percent
of revenues), an increase of 42.1 percent over the second quarter of 2005 and an
increase of 8.8 percent compared with first quarter of 2006.

Operating and net income in the second quarter of 2006, reached US$645,000 and
US$269,000, respectively, compared with an operating and net loss of US$1.7
million and US$1.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were US$0.03, compared with
diluted loss per share of US$0.15 in the same period last year.

Revenues for the first six months of 2006 reached US$28.3 million, an increase
of 5.1 percent compared with the same period in 2005. Operating and net income
for the six-month period, reached US$1.1 million and US$418,000, respectively,
compared with an operating and net loss of US$709,000 and US$1.3 million,
respectively, for the first six months of 2005.

Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period were US$0.04, compared with
a diluted loss per share of US$0.13 in the same period of last year.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal and CEO, said:
" Our 2005 quarterly financial information includes the reversal of revenues and
a corresponding increase in expenses as a result of a subsequent to 2005 year
end cancellation of a turnkey project by a customer in Eastern Europe. We
decided to reconsider the revenue recognition of this project in our financial
results for 2005 and believe that it is appropriate not to record the revenues
from this project in 2005 and to reduce income accordingly."

Mr. Even-Ezra concluded:" Management believes that the second half of the year
will be better than the first half, both in revenues, as well as in operating
and net income."

The Company will be hosting its quarterly conference call at 10:00am EST today.
On the call, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of the Board & CEO, and Ms. Raya
Asher, V.P. Finance & CFO, will review and discuss the second quarter 2006
results. They will then be available to answer questions.
