Oded Bashan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTI, said, "Following the first six months of 2011, with better than expected revenues, OTI is well positioned to enjoy its expected growth and the investments we have made in the recent years. We are involved in a larger number of projects that have progressed to their commercial implementation stage, resulting in the increase in recurring and transaction fee revenues. We have a larger number of opportunities that are in pilot stages with a clear path to rollouts, which will mainly impact 2012 and 2013 revenues, ultimately increasing our long term visibility and profitability. In addition, we have created new alliances with channel partners in the vertical markets that we focus on, especially in the petroleum and parking markets, which will help us increase revenues from these sectors. The advancements increase our confidence level in meeting the previously provided guidance for the year of $55-$60 million in revenues."

Repurchase Plan

OTI's Board of Directors has authorized to resume the repurchase program of OTI's shares which was terminated last year. The timing and the amounts purchased are to be determined by the Company, and the purchases may occur in the open market or in negotiated or block transactions, all subject to the applicable regulatory requirements.

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth calendar quarter of 2009, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of the assets of OTI's subsidiary Millennium Card's Technology Ltd ("MCT") including the machinery and inlay production IP of OTI to SMARTRAC NV. Results for the discontinued operations have been separated and are presented separately.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, OTI uses non-GAAP measures of operating expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to employees and non employees in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 (originally issued as SFAS No. 123(R)) and ASC Subtopic 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (formerly EITF 96-18); amortization of intangible assets; and results from discontinued operations. OTI management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and enhances the understanding of the Company's on-going economic performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.
