        Conference Call Today at 10:00 am ET to Discuss Results

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 13, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems, Ltd. (Nasdaq:TISA) (TASE:TISA), the leading innovator of data capture solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Highlights



    -- Revenues reached $8.3 million, up 36% year-over-year
    -- Operating income of $297 thousand
    -- Sales pipeline stands at a record of around $110 million
    -- Improved gross margin to 59% from 50% in the previous
       quarter

Second Quarter 2008 Results

Revenues for the quarter increased 36% reaching $8.3 million, compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of last year, and a decrease of 10% over the $9.3 million reported in the prior quarter. Approximately, 49% of second quarter revenues were generated from products and 51% from services.

Operating income for the quarter totaled $297 thousand, a substantial improvement from the operating income of $65 thousand for the second quarter of 2007 and a decrease of 32% compared to the operating income of $435 thousand reported in the prior quarter.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement no. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159") as of the start of 2008. Therefore the Company's debenture is currently accounted for at fair value. This fair value is based on a base debenture market price, and is volatile on daily basis and the exchange rate between the Israeli shekel and U.S. dollar. While the debenture value fluctuation affects financial expenses, it has no affect on operating income.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the quarter totaled $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $97 thousand in the second quarter last year, and a $1.3 million net income in the prior quarter. GAAP fully diluted loss per share in the second quarter totaled $0.140, compared to fully diluted loss per share of $0.011 in the second quarter of 2007, and fully diluted loss per share of $0.131 in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter totaled $1.3 million, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 and a net income of $1.6 million in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock option compensation and amortization of intangible acquired assets, which totaled a negligible amount in the second quarter of 2008, $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $0.3 million in the prior quarter. A reconciliation between net income (loss) on a GAAP basis and a non-GAAP basis is included at the end of this press release.

Management comment

Dr. Ido Schechter, Top Image Systems' CEO, commented: "The first half of 2008 was very exciting and the strongest first half in our Company's history. We harvested the fruits of our investment during 2007 in building a strong infrastructure. Our operations in Europe and the Americas are performing very well and the transition from a sales mix favoring hardware and third party components to software and service in APAC is progressing according to our plans. TIS has established itself as the clear global technological leader in document capture solutions, which has given us significant traction in all our markets."

"Our progress in the first half of the year reflects our synergistic M&A activities last year, and the restructuring completed at the end of the year. In addition, the company saw some additional positive trends. Our sales team is executing at high levels; sales cycles are shrinking; the sales mix is improving; and our pipeline is growing. We are proud that the investments we have made both in infrastructure and on acquisitions are meaningfully contributing to the company's positive momentum as we enter the second half of 2008," concluded Dr. Schechter.
